Hmm, two more things:

make dist-clean (or distclean) && make

I’m not sure what the result of this should be. Should I be doing a
make install next to reinstall?


The idea was to remove all partial build products and start from scratch. Is it still not working if you re-untar?

Or, blow away the directory and rebuild. Normally I'd say "git reset
--hard HEAD && git clean -fxd && ./bootstrap && ./configure && make
dev" but you said tarball and I'm not entirely sure on the "reset to
just untarred state" target is.

Not sure I follow you…
I downloaded a copy of apache-couchdb-0.9.1.tar.gz from
http://couchdb.apache.org/downloads.html
I have deleted the uncompressed copy of the directory before trying:

./configure && make && sudo make install

from a fresh copy.

Should I instead get it from git or svn (http://svn.apache.org)?
