Description
I am building couchdb on debian wheezy (so to build with geocouch later).
I am following instructions in INSTALL.Unix file:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install erlang libicu-dev libmozjs-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/couchbase/couchdb.git
cd couchdb
./bootstrap
./configure
...
checking for JS_NewContext in -lmozjs... no
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljs... no
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljs3250... no
checking for JS_NewContext in -ljs32... no
configure: error: Could not find the js library.
Is the Mozilla SpiderMonkey library installed?
Although I can see the library there:
/usr/lib/libmozjs.so
Has the build on wheezy been recently tested ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Research direction
Start with INSTALL.Unix and reproduce the reported ./bootstrap and ./configure sequence on Debian Wheezy, focusing on the JS_NewContext checks and the reported /usr/lib/libmozjs.so path. Done means identifying why the js library is not detected and documenting or correcting the build instructions so configuration proceeds.
