installed ejabberd using synaptic package manager on Ubuntu 10.04 without any error. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ejabberd" used to configure it. Added users too using http://localhost:5280/admin/ console. everything working fine except ejabberdctl command.
knocker@ps0714-U:~$ ejabberdctl
Failed RPC connection to the node 'ejabberd@ps0714-U': nodedown
knocker@ps0714-U:~$ ejabberdctl status

knocker@ps0714-U:~$ ejabberdctl register test test
