couchdb-devel @1.4.0a-20130330: error: The installed Erlang version must be >= R13B04 (erts-5.7.4) and < R16A (erts-5.10)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

couchdb-devel does not configure.

checking Erlang version compatibility... configure: error: The installed Erlang version must be >= R13B04 (erts-5.7.4) and < R16A (erts-5.10)

$ port installed erlang
The following ports are currently installed:
  erlang @19.1_0+hipe+ssl (active)

couchdb-devel seems to be outdated w.r.t. couchdb. Maybe updating couchdb-devel to a current version would help? couchdb @1.6.1 builds fine.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

couchdb-devel should either be updated and fixed, or replaced_by couchdb.

The current version of couchdb (@1.7.1) fails with a similar error as well:
