0.11 on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid lynx)
Quick question - what's the easiest (most relaxing) way to install
couchdb 0.11 on Ubuntu lucid lynx? Should I compile from source?
Should I add debian unstable to my sources.list? Should I just wait?
Thanks in advance for any tips!

If, like me, you don't want to bring in all of libxulrunner's
dependencies (x11!) on your server, I'd suggest installing the js lib
from source as well. I have a set of babushka (http://babushka.me/)
deps at http://github.com/dgoodlad/babushka-deps that will get couch
installed from source if you're interested.

I'm installing it from source without using libmozjs. Install all the
packages named in the "INSTALL.Unix" but not the libmozjs, instead I'm
using the libxulrunner from mozilla.
Then I use the following script to compile couchdb:

Maybe the first line isn't necessary. Maybe you have to make the paths
fit to your system (for my system they do).
After that you can relax.

sure I'll paste it in if someone else hasn't beaten me to it.

This is a good write-up. I had a feeling there were some hoops on Ubuntu when you want to run from source. Thanks for documenting. Should this go on the wiki?

If you're *not* running Ubuntu server, but rather running some variant
of Ubuntu desktop, I'd strongly recommend compiling from source and
keeping the default prefix of /usr/local. I am testing ubuntu on my
laptop after using slackware and gentoo for years, and didn't realize
that ubuntu comes standard with couchdb---but it ships with version
0.10.x. Installing 0.11.x couchdb will create conflicts, and then
stuff like gwibber and Ubuntu One crash and die and or you get strange
issues with couchdb trying and failing to start as these programs fire
up, etc. I had to do a lot of removing and reinstalling to fix that
mistake.
Because 0.11.x is in /usr/local, directly copying the
sudo update-rc.d couchdb defaults
incantation in INSTALL.Unix will cause the /etc/init.d/couchdb version
to fire up every time, staring 0.10, not 0.11.x. I'm completely
unfamiliar with the "ubuntu way" of manipulating rc.d/init.d, so I
just forced it as follows (just typing from memory, do not cut and
paste blindly):
sudo mv /etc/init.d/couchdb /etc/init.d/couchdb.0.10.donotuse
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb /etc/init.d/couchdb
then ran the sudo update-rc.d line.
Other than that caveat, I found all of the tips on the couchdb wiki
for ubuntu to be very helpful.
regards,
James
