req has no properties error in multiple versions of CouchDB

[LouisStAmour]

I've been following along with the book at http://books.couchdb.org/relax/application-deployment and everything works fine with sudo port install couchdb, with an svn co of couchdb, and via couchdbx, EXCEPT I can't get the git pull of Sofa to work, no way no how. Tests of CouchDB itself passed essentially 100%, with a variation here or there, but this error never goes away.

Below is from the console in couchdbx:
