np, I'm glad to help. If you're doing a deb package (which would be great), you may be missing a couple of dependencies. I have installed 0.11 on a very minimal Ubuntu (that contains very few packages, much less than a clean install), and put the instructions at the second example here:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu A couple of notes: I tried to avoid unessential packages, and so dropped the 'xulrunner-dev' package that has lots of dependencies, and instead installed the Spider-monkey js-engine from source. Nevertheless, 'xulrunner-dev' would be just fine. Also, the 'erlang' package has lots of dependenies. It'd be interesting to know what exactly is needed for couchdb to operate. a.
