I have to presume you did --with-js-lib=/usr/local/spidermonkey/lib not --with-js-lib=/usr/local/spidermonkey/lib64 as it has on the wiki :-) Try this: # echo "/usr/local/spidermonkey/lib" >/etc/ld.so.conf.d/spidermonkey.conf # ldconfig If that doesn't work, then I can only suggest copying libjs.so into /usr/local/lib I have couch running under CentOS 5.2 (= RHEL 5.2), but I just used a js-1.60 RPM on rpmforge which seems OK. BTW Red Hat 4.1 is so ancient that there are no more security fixes for it, so there are good reasons to upgrade to a later 4.x http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/archives/rh41-errata-general.html HTH, Brian.
