one last try: I found a nice summary of installing couchdb on
ubuntu here:
http://jhcore.com/category/ubuntu/
I still get a runtime error on startup, but I'm seeing a lot more
debugging info, and I have a crash dump (attached).
couch 0.7.2 (LogLevel=info)
Apache CouchDB is starting.

Bob, I'm not using 64 bit so I use just lib instead of lib64. I
gather
from your post that the startup error is likely an erlang problem? I
didn't see anything logged at all. Getting back to trying to install
erlang from source, I was missing ncurses (see previous post of
mine).
I can't get ncurses to install though:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local$ sudo apt-get install ncurses
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ncurses is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate
I'm starting to think I need to give up on ubuntu and start over on a
red hat vm.

Did you try lib64, your paste just has lib.
Also, I found that I had to install a more recent version of
erlang. I
built erlang from source, rather than installing the binary.

I also went in and set the home directory for the user to
/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb, but no change.

Bob,

If that works, you know the problem is that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
not set
for
the couchdb user.
That's solved it for me. Thank you thank you thank you. :-)
