we did follow the wiki page - although it is quite confusing with 
numerous ways to go and many references to libmozjs although it's 
deprecated for xulrunner

we did the symlinks for xulrunner - libmozjs - no success
we tried couchio bin file install - it failed ("unexpected "(" )
we tried couchio tar file configure - it failed (due to missing libmozjs)
we even tried to reinstall vers 0.10 (apt-get install couchdb) - but 
that won't respond correctly (ie I guess all the dependencies are now 
messed up)

we've been compiling and installing source pkgs for 10 yrs now but this 
has been the hardest to get working - not sure what the deal is or what 
is wrong with the whole spider-monkey xulrunner vs libmozjs thing but we 
can't get it working

not sure what to do at this point.
