CouchDB Peepcode

I just downloaded the CouchDB PeepCode and was following the CouchDB installation instructions when I ran into a problem. At the time the screencast was published the erlang macport install supposedly worked, however I ran into a Bus error that has apparently been out there for sometime. Fortunately, there is a simple work around until the fix is released sometime this month (hopefully).

There's a native OS X CouchDB server, in an all in one package, which is another work around if you just want to try CouchDB. It's currently still at 0.8.1, but should be updating to 0.9 when we make that release.

That's good news. I didn't want to use it because it was the 0.8.1 release and the peepcode referred to the 0.9 release.

CouchDBX 0.8 won't work with the latest CouchRest client. Another option is to build CouchDB from source which isn't too bad, but takes a while since it requires the installation of Erlang as well.

I'll try to build a current copy from MacPorts and will mention the fix you found here.
