7 years ago For what it's worth this seems to be a problem with your spider monkey installation, rather than with couch itself, it is technically possible to compile it with erlang 20
vagrant@sandbox:/tmp$ kerl active
The current active installation is:
/opt/erlang/20.0
vagrant@sandbox:/tmp$ git clone https://github.com/apache/couchdb.git

You have configured Apache CouchDB, time to relax. Relax.
vagrant@sandbox:/tmp/couchdb (master)$ vi rebar.config.script
## add 20 to require_otp_vsn
vagrant@sandbox:/tmp/couchdb (master)$ vi src/snappy/rebar.config
## add 20 to require_otp_vsn
$ make
==> config (compile)
Compiled src/config_sup.erl
Compiled src/config_app.erl

Compiled src/rexi_sup.erl
Compiled src/rexi.erl

==> couchdb (compile)That said erlang 20 hasn't been tested and not recommended for use, hence it's not in require_otp_vsn.

Erlang 20 seems to break the compile process due to at least 2 issues.
couchdb-snappy
Has a pre-compilation check for Erlang version that doesn't include version 20, easy to fix and I already submitted a pull request.
rebar.config.script
Has a pre-compilation check for Erlang version, but allowing the new version brings other problems that I was unable to solve. This is the result of a
makecommand after running./configureon Mac OS Sierra 64-bit with the newly released Erlang/OTP 20.0:
