(OS X Leopard,R13B04, no macports) invoking couchdb results in a running beam process that does nothing, no errors, log msgs, etc. invoking couchdb -i Erlang R13B04 (erts-5.7.5) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:true] Eshell V5.7.5 (abort with ^G) 1> application:start(couch). {error,{not_started,crypto}} 2> application:start(crypto). ok 3> application:start(ibrowse). {error,{not_started,sasl}} 4> Looks like I'm a no go on sasl... googled it, and figured I'd ask the couch erlang guru's. Thanks, Troy
