Hi all,

I am able to compile CouchDB 1.1 without an issue, but cannot compile 1.2 on the exact same server. Receiving the following error when attempting to compile:

checking jsapi.h usability... no
checking jsapi.h presence... no
checking for jsapi.h... no
checking js/jsapi.h usability... no
checking js/jsapi.h presence... no
checking for js/jsapi.h... no
configure: error: Could not find the jsapi header.

Are the Mozilla SpiderMonkey headers installed?


The JS and JS-Devel packages are installed:

It is my understanding that version 1.7 of SpiderMonkey is supposed to be acceptable. I saw that a similar error to this one was supposedly fixed in 1.2: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1426?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel


What can I do to get CouchDB 1.2 to compile?

Thanks!
