Re: Subversion 0.37.0 on MacOS X (problem - was 'Subversion 0.37.0 is a 1.0.0 candidate release, please test')

Dear Garrett,

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm actually relieved that it is most
probably pilot error on my part rather than anything seriously wrong in
Subversion.

I'll investigate a lot harder what the trouble is - and report from my
MacOS box, not from a (ick) Win2K laptop in the office, if I have further
irresolvable problems. I expect the problem is something to do with my
setup.

<cogitation volume="audible">
I wonder if part of my problem is that I installed CoreUtils-5.0 from GNU
into /usr/local/bin recently because I found a problem with the standard
/bin/sort command which CoreUtils 5.0 resolved. (Coreutils is the
replacement for, or aggregation of, shellutils, textutils and fileutils.)
I'll probably disable everything except sort and see if that fixes my
problems; or drop /usr/local/bin from my PATH (same net effect). It didn't
get as far as autoconf barfing over my installation of GCC 3.3.2 instead of
Apple's slightly older version of gcc disguised as cc, which I've sometimes
had problems with -- I may have to deal with that before I finish too.

It's difficult to diagnose a problem when there are no details, but for
the record I just compiled 0.37.0 on MacOS X 10.3, right out of the
tarball, and had no problems.
