Thanks - I tried it. There is something odd going on. It says there is
no such app, and while couchdb source seems to refer to it, I can not
find it anywhere in the filesystem.

{app_would_not_start,asn1} is pretty telling.
try 'erl' then "application:start(asn1)." and see what error you get.
If it's a not_started for some other app, try starting that one.
You'll probably do this a few times before finding the thing that
fails to start. Likely, it will be one that requires zlib or libssl or
something.

Hi
I was following the steps given in
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/latest/install/unix.html for couchdb 1.5 install
from source.
After installing dependencies through the yum commands, I could build and
install couchdb. Next I made changes to its home directory and gave
permissions for user couchdb to those directories.
Then I started couchdb but got error :
sudo -i -u couchdb /usr/local/bin/couchdb
{"init terminating in
do_boot",{{badmatch,{error,{{app_would_not_start,asn1},{couch_app,start,[normal,["/usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini","/usr/local/etc/couchdb/local.ini"]]}}}},[{couch,start,0},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}
Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()
Both erl and js-devel versions appear to be reasonable for what is given in
the install guide.
The crash dump is a large file. Is there any guide on how to actually
locate what is causing the problem?
Thank you
Vivek
