Bear in mind though that js/spidermonkey is not included in that -
the logs suggest the error is in couchjs, but could that be affected
by a bad spidermonkey install?
Absolutely, but also by a bad Erlang install.
I've had a very similar problem with Erlang on Debian Etch on an AMD64
Linode. I was using the Erlang version available via apt-get, and
seeing problems like those you're seeing. I then tried to install
Erlang from source, only to see the configure script hang on a line
"checking floating point exceptions" (or similar). After some research
it turns out this was a compatibility problem with AMD64, but you
could disable HiPE to get around it. Which is what I did (./configure
--disable-hipe IIRC), and things worked.
(I've since got upgraded to a different Xen-based virtual machine
where the system Erlang works fine.)
One symptom of this is if couchjs works as expected when run manually
from the command-line, e.g.
$ /usr/local/couchdb/bin/couchjs /usr/local/couchdb/share/couchdb/
server/main.js
["reset"]
true
(First line is the commandline invocation, second line is what you
type in when couchjs waits for input, and third line is the expected
output).
If this works, then please have a closer look at rebuilding erlang
with HiPE disabled.
If it doesn't work, there's probably something wrong with your
spidermonkey installation.
Cheers,
Chris
