  In case the install script fails to install a noninteractive user "couchdb" to be used for the database, the user needs to be created manually:
  
  I used the {{{pw}}} command to add a user "couchdb" in group "couchdb":
+ 
  {{{
  shell# pw user add couchdb
  shell# pw user mod couchdb -c 'CouchDB, time to relax' -s /usr/sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/couchdb

  {{{
  shell# cat /etc/passwd |grep couchdb
  couchdb:*:1013:1013:Couchdb, time to relax:/var/lib/couchdb/:/usr/sbin/nologin
  }}}
- 
  To change any of these settings, please refrain from editing {{{/etc/passwd}}} and instead use {{{pw user mod ...}}} or {{{vipw}}}. Make sure that the user has no shell, but instead uses {{{/usr/sbin/nologin}}}. The '*' in the second field means that this user can not login via password authorization. For details use {{{man 5 passwd}}}.

  I tried creating a database "db1" there and got an error. The solution was to

  Anyway, after this futon did report OK and I found a "/var/lib/couchdb/db1.couch" data file.
  
  == Installing from sources ==
- 
  When building from sources obtained from {{{git clone git://github.com/halorgium/couchdb.git}}}, you can get a strange "{{{Syntax error: end of file unexpected}}}". You need to use {{{gmake}}} instead of {{{make}}}.
  
+ If you get {{{aclocal: not found}}} on {{{./bootstrap}}} you need to {{{pkg_add -r automake19}}}.

  = Current TODO =
- 
   * Change /var/lib/couchdb/ to /var/db/couchdb/
