Installing couchdb on Ubuntu
Hello,
I've just wanted to install couchdb on ubuntu. The problem is it wants
me to install libmozjs-dev, but then apt removes some very important
packages:
couchdb-bin desktopcouch eclipse eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde
eclipse-platform eclipse-plugin-cvs evolution-couchdb firefox
firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-gnome-support firefox-3.5
firefox-3.5-branding firefox-3.5-gnome-support firefox-gnome-support
galeon gnome-core gnome-user-guide gnome-user-guide-de
gnome-user-guide-en python-desktopcouch
python-desktopcouch-records python-gnome2-extras python-gtkmozembed
serpentine ubufox ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-docs xulrunner-1.9.1
xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support yelp
How do I install couchdb on ubuntu without removing all those packages?
Regards
Julian

This might help, although the version in the xulrunner directory names
has changed since I wrote that.

Ubuntu has the desktopcouch application installed, this is used by
Ubuntu One (it replicates with a couchdb server in the cloud) and is
also used for replicatable firefox bookmarks, evolution contacts and all
the other stuff that you see being ripped out if the desktopcouch rug is
pulled. If you want to get to the local futon then browse to
file:///home/USERNAME/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html
which *should* exist, but sometimes doesn't and you will be redirected
to the right port and be logged in

As of Karmic Koala, Ubuntu ships with CouchDB since it's used by UbuntuOne.
This is the couchdb-bin package that conflicts with couchdb.
I believe UbuntuOne, if configured, starts CouchDB on a random port when you
log in, but you should be able to run a system one with standard
configuration by typing
'sudo service couchdb start'.
Note this will currently be CouchDB 0.10.0 IIRC.

I did it with the following commands (had to modify the versions):
sudo apt-get install build-essential erlang-nox erlang-dev libicu-dev
xulrunner-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8/ make
--with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.8/lib/
--with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.8/include
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8/ make
sudo make install
just for the archives :-)
Regards and thanks to everyone!

all right, will try that. The main problem with the couchdb-package
shipped with ubuntu is, that it is an old version, not the 0.10.1.

If you're building it yourself, don't install libmozjs-dev. The following
script, or something like it, should do:
./bootstrap &&
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 ./configure \
--with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 \
--with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.8/include &&
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 make &&
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-* &&
sudo make install &&
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb restart
