 couchdb cannot be installed when prefix is not /opt/local. Here's what I
 get on a Leopard machine with prefix /mp:

 {{{
 :info:configure checking for erl... /mp/bin/erl
 :info:configure checking for erlc... /mp/bin/erlc
 :info:configure checking erl_driver.h usability... no
 :info:configure checking erl_driver.h presence... no
 :info:configure checking for erl_driver.h... no
 :info:configure configure: error: Could not find the `erl_driver.h'
 header.
 :info:configure
 :info:configure Are the Erlang headers installed? Use the `--with-erlang'
 option to specify the
 :info:configure path to the Erlang include directory.
 }}}

 "/opt/local" is hardcoded in several places in the source code:
