Now installs fine under Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) i386, once I'd remembered to
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib.
However, the in-browser test suite gave me various intermittent errors.
Quite consistently I could get this one, even after disabling firefox
extensions(*):
reader_acl error 190ms
1. Exception raised: {}
It repeated consistently when clicking the arrow to re-run it.
Clicking "run with debugger" just seemed to freeze the browser, although
maybe that's because I had disabled firebug at this point.
So I re-enabled firebug, restarted firefox, and tried re-running just the
readeracl test again. This time, I managed to crash the couchdb server
itself!

eaccess suggested a permissions problem, so I did
chown couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini
and restarted couchdb. After that this test suite was OK. However it's
not clear to me why it hadn't crashed before.
Before then I had also seen intermittently other tests failing with the same
error - whole groups of them (**). For example, on one run everything from
reduce_builtin to view_pagination inclusive failing with the same "Exception
raised: {}" error.
I checked the log after that run and found some odd errors:

Anyway, nobody else seems to have had this problem, it's quite possibly
something to do with my setup, and browser-based tests are fragile anyway.
Hence I'm not going to vote against the release. It's a 0 from me.

Brian.

(**) On my first run of the full test suite, it failed at
reader_acl error 190ms
1. Exception raised: {}
The subsequent tests were OK from recreate_doc down to security_validation
(inclusive), but then all the tests from show_documents to view_xml
(inclusive) all failed with the same error:
show_documents error 13282ms
1. Exception raised: {}
stats error 18ms
1. Exception raised: {}
update_documents error 14ms
1. Exception raised: {}
... etc
So I reloaded the page and ran all the tests from the top. On this second
run, tests from form_submit down to stats (inclusive) failed in the same way.
