Unable to install couchdb in RHEL4

[Glenn Silverman <gl...@glenn3.securesites.net>]

I am unable to install couchdb in RHEL4.

Here is the output I get when I run make && make install from the 
couchdb directory and
after following all the other instructions in the installation guide.

One more tip to keep in mind for installing CouchDB on RHEL derived
distributions is to use EPEL:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

With EPEL in place, I was able to get most of the packages I needed for Fedora.

I had written some instructions about installing couchdb on RHEL 4 -
will convert it to a blog/wiki entry when I find some time.

Let me know if that helps. Your error seems to be related to the
spidermonkey installation and if you build the rpm or do a proper
installation of spider monkey - it might work.
