Install from src on freebsd 7.3

Greetings all,

I am following this tutorial on installing from source on freebsd:

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building+for+FreeBSD

and when I run scons Im getting the following library error:

Checking for C library mozjs... no
Checking for C library js... no
Checking for C library js_static... no
can't find or link against library ['mozjs', 'js', 'js_static'] in ['/
usr/local/lib']

Is this referring to spider monkey or something else?

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance,

-Randy

Re: Install from src on freebsd 7.3

Did you
$ cd /usr/ports/lang/spidermonkey && make && make install
If so - not sure why spidermonkey isn't being detected.
Its a bit weird though - so you may want to compile it from source
