I'm trying to install CouchDB on Mountain Lion.
I've followed the guide at http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX
I get to the point where I have to do brew install couchdb
, but when I do that I get:
Erlang <= R15B03-1 is required to install.
You have a erlang version R15B03-1
The work-around is:
brew unlink erlang
cd /usr/local
git checkout 168742f Library/Formula/erlang.rb
brew install erlang
brew install couchdb
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.
Notice that I've got the version of Erlang that it asks for, but it fails anyway.
When I first tried to install CouchDB I had MacPorts installed, but I uninstalled that and tried again with no luck.
running brew doctor
gives me:

Warning: /usr/bin occurs before /usr/local/bin
This means that system-provided programs will be used instead of those
provided by Homebrew. The following tools exist at both paths:
2to3
2to3-2.7
idle
idle2.7
pydoc
pydoc2.7
python
python-config
python2.7
python2.7-config
pythonw
pythonw2.7
smtpd.py
smtpd2.7.py
Consider amending your PATH so that /usr/local/bin
occurs before /usr/bin in your PATH.
Even though I changed etc/paths so that /usr/local/bin is the very first line:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
also, I'm not comfortable changing the location of the mentioned files since I have no clue what they are.
lastly I've also tried the CouchDB app from http://www.apache.org/dist/couchdb/notes/1.2.1/apache-couchdb-1.2.1.html, but when I run it I get CouchDB Server doesn't seem to be operating properly. Check Console logs for more details.
I don't know how to access the Console Logs...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi @Dan. Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately it does not work. The dependacy in my couchdb.rb is already
depends_on 'erlang'
. I tried to change in to'erlang-15'
(the opposit of what worked for you) but no luck. – Smedegaard – 2013-03-20T09:16:45.313Hi again. I tried again and for some reason it worked this time. I got a couchDB running on my machine. YAY!
{"couchdb":"Welcome","version":"1.2.1"}
Time to relaxe ;) – Smedegaard – 2013-03-20T09:20:13.643
