Thanks for following up.

I checked the permissions you listed and they match my couchdb 1.1.1 instal=
l, however on both systems files under /etc/couchdb are owned by root, but =
are read accessible by everyone and from the looks of them don't need to be=
 writable by the couchdb user, unless that changed in 1.2.0?

If I run ./configure without --with-js-trunk I get:

I got this on 1.1.1 also.=20

With regard to Centos ISO, that's one of the issues, I have no issue with C=
ouchdb 1.2 on the Centos 5.8 images I built myself from ISO, but the ones I=
 have an issue with are on a hosted Virtualisation environment and provided=
 to me so all I can provide is:=20

[kana@KCEngCI200 apache-couchdb-1.2.0]$ uname -a
Linux KCEngCI200 2.6.18.8-xenU #1 SMP Wed Feb 3 11:28:48 PST 2010 x86_64 x8=
6_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[kana@KCEngCI200 apache-couchdb-1.2.0]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
[kana@KCEngCI200 apache-couchdb-1.2.0]$

I get them as Centos 5.3 images and then have to apply the Centos 5.8 updat=
es myself (don't ask!).

My checklist is:
couch user has r/w to the equivalent of:
/var/lib/couchdb
/var/log/couchdb
/var/run/couchdb
/etc/couchdb

& obviously read to the binaries as well. The Mac install notes

Hi Mike,

I'd rather we find a way to help you through this, the above approach is su=
re
to crap out on you in future in some subtle but critical fashion.

My guess is that your configure is really building against a different
spidermonkey
than what you are actually expecting.

Can you post the output from below, & resulting config.log somewhere?

    ./configure --with-erlang=3D/usr/local/lib/erlang/erts-5.7.5/include

NB the --with-js-trunk shouldn't be used unless you know what you are doing=
, it
bypasses the checks that the js you are building against is actually compat=
ible
with couchdb.

If you point me to a suitable ISO I'll whip up a centos and take a look als=
o.

A+
Dave
