As there is currently no good guide about the installation of CouchDB on an OpenSolaris system and I need a CouchDB server, I used my Sunday to evaluate the required steps. The following posts will give you a easy to use guide about the installation of all required software and finally of CouchDB.
CouchDB on OpenSolaris: Part 1 – Erlang
CouchDB on OpenSolaris: Part 2 – ICU
CouchDB on OpenSolaris: Part 3 – Spidermonkey
CouchDB on OpenSolaris: Part 4 – CouchDB

Hi Fahad,
I’m sorry, but the HowTo is for OpenSolaris. On Solaris 10 systems, you can’t install the required packages via pkg install and I can’t tell you, where to find them, sry.
