or on ubuntu 10.04
$ sudo apt-get install libtool libicu-dev libssl-dev libssl0.9.8 (for building couchdb, ssl is for erlang).

$ tar -xvzf curl-7.21.4.tar.gz
$ cd curl-7.21.4
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ make test
$ sudo make install

$ tar xvzf js-1.8.0-rc1.tar.gz
$ cd js/src

$ sudo make BUILD_OPT=1 JS_DIST=/usr/local -f Makefile.ref export

4. Install Erlang (couchDB is written by Erlang)

Remark: pre-install ncurses-devel.i386 first on CentOS (yum install ncurses-devel.i386)
or (sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev) on ubuntu 10.04.

$ wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R14B02.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf otp_src_R14B02.tar.gz
$ cd otp_src_R14B02
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install

$ cd couchdb
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make install

$ sudo chown -R couchdb: /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb /usr/local/var/log/couchdb

Set CouchDB service to run on startup:

# ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/couchdb /etc/init.d/couchdb (on ubunutu, ln -s /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb /etc/init.d/couchdb)

# chkconfig --add couchdb
# chkconfig --level 345 couchdb on

Start CouchDB and verify it running:

# sudo service couchdb start
# sudo service couchdb status
