If you're building it yourself, don't install libmozjs-dev. The following script, or something like it, should do: ./bootstrap && LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 ./configure \ --with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 \ --with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-1.9.1.8/include && LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.8 make && sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-* && sudo make install && sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/couchdb restart
