Hi,
I have been following the instructions at
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX to install couchdb from
source. I have a MacBook Pro from 2007-2008 (pre unibody) running snow leopard.
When I run "arch" I get i386.
I am able to build everything following the instructions but when I start
couchdb I get the following crash report
=INFO REPORT==== 12-Feb-2010::10:58:58 ===
application: couch
exited: {bad_return,{{couch_app,start,

mach-o, but wrong architecture"}}}
type: temporary
I guessed that maybe the
/runConfigureICU MacOSX --with-library-bits=64 --disable-samples
--enable-static # if this fails for you try: ./configure --enable-64bit-libs
was to blame so I tried building icu again without the 64 bit options. I
rebuilt couchdb and still had the same error when I tried to run it. In
desperation I removed icu and installed MacPorts and asked that to install icu
for me. I rebuilt couchdb again and still get the same error when I try to
start it.
I googled around a bit. I can't find that exact error to do with couchdb but I
have found similar stuff that seems to be mainly people trying to build 32 bit
code on 64 bit machine.
I'm sort of at a loss. I know I can use CouchDBX (in fact I have done before)
but I wanted to see if I could build from source (I guess not ;)) and try a get
a bit more control over my environment. I have one deployed website backed by
couchdb (on ubuntu) so I thought I'd be better trying to set up a dev env
closer to the deployed env.
I know this is not strictly speaking a couchdb issue, but if anyone out there
has seen this before or can help I appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Russell
