Error on Riak ( 2.1.1 ) startup - riak

Question

I have an error trying to start riak after compiled it from the source code (riak 2.1.1).
soft67:bin Humberto$ ./riak start
!!!!
!!!! WARNING: ulimit -n is 2560; 65536 is the recommended minimum.
!!!!
riak failed to start within 15 seconds,
see the output of 'riak console' for more information.
If you want to wait longer, set the environment variable WAIT_FOR_ERLANG to the number of seconds to wait.
I am using gcc 5.2 as default compiler, OS X Yosemite 10.10 and the Basho's patched version of Erlang (OTP_R16B02_basho8)
What is wrong? I did the same in Ubunto 14.4 and works OK
I have this error with the lib eleveldb.so:
2015-07-30 12:43:59.292 [warning] <0.191.0> The on_load function for module eleveldb returned {error,{load_failed,"Failed to load NIF library: 'dlopen(/Users/Humberto/riak-2.1.1/rel/riak/bin/../lib/eleveldb-2.1.0-0-ga36dbd6/priv/eleveldb.so, 2): Symbol not found: __ZTTNSt7__cxx1119basic_ostringstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE\n Referenced from: /Users/Humberto/riak-2.1.1/rel/riak/bin/../lib/eleveldb-2.1.0-0-ga36dbd6/priv/eleveldb.so\n Expected in: flat namespace\n in /Users/Humberto/riak-2.1.1/rel/riak/bin/../lib/eleveldb-2.1.0-0-ga36dbd6/priv/eleveldb.so'"}}
I used otool to see the links of eleveldb.so, here is the output:

Answer 1

I met the similar problem with Riak 1.4, and I found the reason is my Erlang version is built by llvm-gcc, but Riak 1.4 requires gnu-gcc. When Riak start, program would failed with load certain lib.
Strongly recommend install Erlang refer to basho doc:
Installing-on-Mac-OS-X
Install-Riak
As your OSX is 10.10, compile Erlang from source with configure below:
./configure --disable-hipe --enable-smp-support --enable-threads \
--enable-kernel-poll --enable-darwin-64bit
After all, recompile Riak.

Answer 2

In Ubuntu system, run the following command
export WAIT_FOR_ERLANG=60

Answer 3

The other OSX option would be to use a pre-compiled version of Riak such as Riak-2.9.8 from https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.8/osx/10.14/
If Riak starts and dies a few seconds later, have a look at var/console.log to see if Riak is complaining about crypto. If so, copy the two dylib files available from the same site to /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/ and it should be happy.
