Thank you so much for your time, Paul. I am trying to be clear and
specific for those whom may follow...
In /etc/couchdb/default.ini I have:
[couchdb]
database_dir = /var/lib/couchdb
view_index_dir = /var/lib/couchdb
util_driver_dir = /lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.0.1/priv/lib
...
This makes me think that everything "just worked" when following the
installation instructions. Sheer luck, though: I unpacked everything
in /home/dhimes/apache-couch* and did as instructed (I found nothing
telling me to unpack the tarball to any specific directory).
