  If you want the latest version of Couchdb but everything else from the repositories then:
-   * In Synaptic select couchdb, this will also select the dependencies (erlang etc.) then unselect couchdb and apply the dependencies
-   * sudo apt-get build-dep couchdb
-   * sudo apt-get install libmozjs-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool
-   * download the latest couchdb .tar.gz file
-   * tar -zxvf apache-couchdb-0.9.0.tar.gz
-   * cd apache-couchdb-0.9.0
-   * ./configure
-   * make
-   * sudo make install
- now you can run "sudo couchdb" and browse to [[http://localhost:5984/_utils]] to check it is all working
