[Couchdb Wiki] Update of "Installing on Ubuntu" by AlanBell

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Couchdb Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by AlanBell:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * sudo make install
  now you can run "sudo couchdb" and browse to [http://localhost:5984/_utils] to check it is all working
  
+ Because you installed all the dependencies of Couchdb from synaptic, but not Couchdb itself some of the dependencies may think they are not required and update manager may suggest that they are removed. Should you do this Couchdb will fail to start, perhaps with an error such as 
+ {{{
+ {"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{crypto,start,[]},{erl_eval,do_apply,5},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
+ }}}
+ If this happens simply re-install the dependencies (possibly erlang-nox but it could vary)
+
