Thanks, but I'm quite familiar with this page, and I've installed couch several times on a normal Ubuntu (not a minimal one, like I'm trying now). I suspect the solution may be trivial, as the installation completed and couch actually runs without crashing. If someone could point me to ways to detect what it's trying to do but failing, that would be great. I know nothing about erlang, but if I must debug, I'll learn how. > All the best, > > Fidel. > > On 7/9/10, afters <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > > > I've successfully installed couch on a very minimal ubuntu vm.
