Sincerely, I never used rake. Instead I followed the instructions from:
http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu
especially, installing from source. You may want to give it a try.
In addition, for 1.1.0, use "git clone
git://github.com/membase/spidermonkey.git" to get the working
Spidermonkey version for CouchDB 1.1.0.
Another alternative is to use version 1.1.1 which is under voting now.
Cheers,
CGS

I think once I get CouchDB installed on Linux, I'll be fine.

I am not sure if you mean a development environment to develop couchdb
itself or simply to use couchdb. For Windows support you might want to
discuss with Dave Cottlehuber.
Dave has put together some good support for windows with his installers
here:
https://github.com/dch/couchdb/downloads
Have you given that a try?

I am setting up a development environment to learn CouchDB. But, I'm using
Windows.
I tried Cygwin, but kept running into various problems. So, I decided to
switch to Linux running under VMware. I still think this is the best
direction.
I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu (11.10) and installed it. But,
then I discovered that CouchDB 1.1 support was limited, and I haven't been
able to get CouchDB installed.
Here's my question. What's the best, stable version of Linux for running
CouchDB 1.1? Should I use another version of Ubuntu or another
distribution
entirely?
Thanks for any advice.
