Installing CouchDB 1.1 from Source on Ubuntu 10.4
Raw
install_couchdb_ubuntu_10_4.md

Fresh installation of Linux Mint 10. Most of the steps work except for linking with the JS libs in xulrunner.

My initial attempt to use build-couchdb failed; I decided to compile CouchDB 1.1 from source.

Install Erlang dependencies

  • $ sudo apt-get install build-essential
  • $ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline5-dev

Build Erlang OTP R14B04

  • Go to otp source tree.
  • $ ./configure
  • $ make && sudo make install

Install CouchDB dependencies

  • $ sudo apt-get install xulrunner-1.9.2-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool

Create symlinks for JS libraries

  • $ cd /usr/lib
  • $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.23/libmozjs.so .
  • $ cd /usr/include
  • $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.23/include/js* .

Build CouchDB 1.1

  • Go to couchdb source tree.
  • $ ./configure
  • $ make && sudo make install
