I would suggest that your current directory wasn't your subversion
repository. svnlook works fine with the fsfs repository type.

Change to the base of your subversion repository and re-run the command.

svnlook doesn't accept a repository URL as an argument, it just wants a
path the the base of your repository.

So if you created your repository in /usr/local/svnrepo then "svnlook
youngest /usr/local/svnrepo" would work.

See <http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.1/ch09s03.html> for more
information.
