I have been installing from source (the 1.0.1 release and the 1.1 branch mostly) on Oracle Enterprise Linux which is pretty much RHEL5 and maps directly to centos. Due to the erlang version being R12B5 that you might want to upgrade to R14. It was pretty painless to build from source and install. To build 1.0.1 from source downloaded the source package and: yum install make gcc gcc-c++ erlang libicu-devel openssl-devel js-devel Then I grabbed and built/installed curl: Download http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.2.tar.gz configure;make;make install to install it into /usr/local and then ran: ./configure --with-erlang=/usr/lib64/erlang/usr/include/ make;make install In the unpacked couch src dir. If you install erlang from source you will want to change the path that the '--with-erlang' flag points at. Ditto if you are 32bit not 64. You should then be able to start couch with: /usr/local/bin/couchdb Cheers Huw
