In the gen_server init/1 I create a session with SmugMug and store the session id as the State variable.

With a little work we can make the dev experience here much more pleasant. You should not have to copy OTP apps. Sinan can manage those deps for you. Even if you use make you should still not have to copy apps they can be just "plugged in" via a release structure. From the sounds of it you are not using OTP releases. Using them will solve your app start problem. If you look in the .app file you may or may not see a 'mod' tuple. It is that tuple that tells the application framework how to start your app if applicable. In terms of the questions surrounding State, I need to know what sort of process you are keeping state in, is it a gen_server? We can talk later. I am glad to help, the app sounds pretty nifty and useful. Smugmug is a nice site and Erlang folks should get to use it too :) Ahh, yes, we should jump on the phone and go through this.
