I have this error when trying to install Erlang 24.0.5. So, I installed the fop dependency:

brew install libxslt fop

But as mentioned this was not the root cause of my installation issue.

So, I run:

export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-wx --without-javac"
asdf install erlang <version>

and I was able to finish the erlang install.

Install fop:

https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/

I've never bothered, though.

fop is used to generate documentation in PDF format. You probably won't need it, as most of the time it's easier to look up things in the documentation online, either on the official site, http://erlang.org/doc/, or using the alternative interface at https://erldocs.com/.

So you can safely ignore this error message.
