   Upon upgrading to MacOS High Sierra, CouchDB fails to start.  For legacy reasons I need to to run v1.6.0 (we use a [deprecated river](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-river-couchdb) to sync with ElasticSearch).  Following @wohali 's suggestion, I patched and [rebuilt Erlang](http://erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.10.2/doc/installation_guide/INSTALL.html), then modified `couchdbx-core/bin/erl` to point to the new binaries.  However, I still get the exact same error as before:
   
   ```
   Segmentation fault: 11
   ```
   
   Could it be I also need to rebuild CouchDB's Erlang libs using that patch?
   
   Edit:
   
   I think my issue was that in `bin/erl` I was modifying `BINDIR` but not `ROOTDIR`.  I installed `R16B01` using [kerl](https://github.com/kerl/kerl), and now Couch is running happily.
