I remember I installed CouchDB using Spidermonkey from 'git clone
git://github.com/membase/spidermonkey.git' and it worked. I used that
because the official version 1.8.5 raised similar error in CouchDB
compilation. Maybe it will help you as well.
Cheers,
CGS

Hi Jim, thanks for the reminder to update the instructions, 1.8.5 is definitely
preferred now.
Paul wrote most of the current logic to compile couchjs against various
versions of Spidermonkey in both CouchDB and BigCouch. I don't know if he
tried the Ubuntu 11.10 package specifically. I suspect when he's up later
today he'll have some insight on the matter. Regards,
Adam

My apologies if this is the wrong list for this kind of question. I
couldn't find a BigCouch specific mailing list.
I'm trying to build bigcouch for the first time (on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric).
The instructions[1] say to use spidermonkey 1.9.2 and include steps on how
to get this from ppa.
When I try to make, the build fails and I get this (followed by a bunch of
similar errors):
c++ -o build/couchjs -L/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel-2.0/lib
build/main.o build/http.o build/utf8.o build/util.o -lm -lpthread -lcurl
-lnspr4 -lmozjs
build/main.o: In function `seal':
/tmp/bigcouch/couchjs/build/sm180.c:229: undefined reference to
`JS_SealObject'
I found an email chain[2] suggesting that the problem is that this version
of spidermonkey is too new for couchdb.
However, when I back out spidermonkey 1.9.2 and use the 1.8.5 version
available through the normal apt channels, I get this:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../../lib/libmozjs185-1.0.a
(RegexCompiler.o):
In function `JSC::Yarr::compileRegex(JSLinearString
const&, JSC::Yarr::RegexPattern&)': (.text+0x26ca): undefined
reference to `PR_AtomicDecrement'
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
