How do I properly install CouchDB using build-couchdb? - build

Question

I'm trying CouchDB on Ubuntu 11.10. Several tests were failing, so I followed this article's advice and tried to install from build-couchdb, but I'm getting some nasty errors trying to start couchdb after a successful build.
Does anyone know what this crash report means?
Does anyone know why 1.0.1 would be installed, and not the latest build version 1.1.0?
Thanks!
$ build/bin/couchdb
Apache CouchDB 1.0.1 (LogLevel=info) is starting.

Answer 1

Marcello is right in his comment. The log indicates that you are somehow (I'm not sure how) running version 1.0.1 but Build CouchDB would be building version 1.1.1.
Perhaps you could update your question with the output of these commands?
pwd
./build/bin/couchdb
