Hi Jason! Thanks for the reply. Sadly, the method you described didn't work. I'm guessing, it has something to do with build/env.sh. Since that file will make couchdb availlable to the PATH. I haven't had installed any program for source before, so i don't know how to make it startup scripts
Would you please post the instructions as to how to do it in the build-couchdb github page? I'm sure for many novice people like me the instructions will be a great help.
