diachedelic edited a comment on issue #840: CouchDB 2.1.0 fails to start under macOS High Sierra URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/840#issuecomment-419807068 Upon upgrading to MacOS High Sierra, CouchDB fails to start. For legacy reasons I need to to run v1.6.0 (we use a [deprecated river](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-river-couchdb) to sync with ElasticSearch). Following @wohali 's suggestion, I patched and [rebuilt Erlang](http://erlang.org/documentation/doc-5.10.2/doc/installation_guide/INSTALL.html), then modified `couchdbx-core/bin/erl` to point to the new binaries. However, I still get the exact same error as before: ``` Segmentation fault: 11 ``` Could it be I also need to rebuild CouchDB's Erlang libs using that patch? Edit: I think my issue was that in `bin/erl` I was modifying `BINDIR` but not `ROOTDIR`. I installed `R16B01` using [kerl](https://github.com/kerl/kerl), and now Couch is running happily.
