How do I properly install CouchDB using build-couchdb?

I'm trying CouchDB on Ubuntu 11.10. Several tests were failing, so I followed this article's advice and tried to install from build-couchdb, but I'm getting some nasty errors trying to start couchdb after a successful build.

  1. Does anyone know what this crash report means?
  2. Does anyone know why 1.0.1 would be installed, and not the latest build version 1.1.0?

Thanks!

$ build/bin/couchdb

Apache CouchDB 1.0.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

I did it on 11 a while back with apt-get. Is it a fresh server, or might you have some conflicting programs? - landons
Thank you - it looks like there is a conflict, but I'm confused as to why after removing and purging couchdb through apt-get. It looks like I still have some artifacts left behind from the initial install from apt-get, and have posted the question here serverfault.com/questions/348044/…. If you could shed some light on that, that would be great! - Matt Norris
You running the wrong binary. build-couchdb by default compiles CouchDB-1.1.1. The first row in your log says Apache CouchDB 1.0.1. - Marcello Nuccio
Remember to prepend ./ to run a command from the current folder. In your case it should probably be ./build/bin/couchdb. - Marcello Nuccio
Marcello, you were right. And thank you for answering on ServerFault. If you answer here instead of comment, I will accept it. - Matt Norris

Marcello is right in his comment. The log indicates that you are somehow (I'm not sure how) running version 1.0.1 but Build CouchDB would be building version 1.1.1.

Perhaps you could update your question with the output of these commands?

  1. pwd
  2. ./build/bin/couchdb
