By running 'subversion/svn/svn upgrade'. (but see below --- you shouldn't need to upgrade your working copy) > It seems circular, or am I missing something simple? > Most likely yes. You didn't paste the complete 'make' output, but I bet that you get the error during the very last step (which runs svnversion on your working copy). In which case, have a look at the 'revision-install' target of the Makefile --- most likely the error you're seeing can be ignored, since the Makefile tries both the just-built svnversion and the system's svnversion. Didn't 'make install' have exit code of zero? (You can check by 'make install; echo $?') > > > As always, Thanks in advance! > > Gavin.
