Unable to configure traildb

[Stuthi]

Hi,
I'm trying to install traildb on an ubuntu 14.04 system . As per instructions on the Install page I have installed libjudy-dev, alongwith libarchive-dev and pkg-config.
But while moving on to the next step , i.e. ./waf configure, it shows the following error:

➜ traildb git:(master) ✗ ./waf configure
Setting top to : /home/stuthi/lyxel/es23/traildb
Setting out to : /home/stuthi/lyxel/es23/traildb/build
Checking for 'gcc' (C compiler) : /usr/bin/gcc
Checking for program 'pkg-config' : /usr/bin/pkg-config
Checking for 'libarchive' : yes
Checking for library Judy : yes
Checking Judy version : Found a broken version of Judy. Install a newer version.
The configuration failed False
(complete log in /home/stuthi/lyxel/es23/traildb/build/config.log)

I checked the version for libjudy version also, it is the latest. Ran an update also.
Despite everything it still doesn't work. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately libjudy-dev that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 contains a critical bug (hence configure warning about it being broken). You'll have to either upgrade your distribution or install a newer version of libjudy by other means. You could try manually downloading and installing a deb package for libjudy from 15.04 or 16.04 from packages.ubuntu.org

I got this working by downloading the .deb packages onto a 14.04 amd64 vagrant setup.

1. download the following packages for your architecture (e.g amd64) from:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libjudydebian1
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libjudy-dev

2. install them using dpkg in the following order, e.g:
   sudo dpkg -i libjudydebian1_1.0.5-5_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i libjudy-dev_1.0.5-5_amd64.deb

3. configure and install, e.g:
   sudo ./waf configure
   sudo ./waf install
   ./waf test

passes all tests.

The fix is also mentioned here:

wasn't on the github page were I looked :)
