Your original error was this:

checking for erlc... no
checking for erl... no
configure: error: erlang not found

You should install erlang, using YUM:

yum install erlang

Then try to compile it again.

[devils casper]

root@vondoo [/opt/source]# yum install ejabbred -y

You are typing incorrect package name again.
Its ejabberd not ejabbred. ( Its not red. Its erd in ejabberd.)

yum -y install ejabberd

root@vondoo [~]# yum install erlang

I have made a yum repository file under yum.

Remove # sign before baseurl lines.
