Well the readme said it may fail on mac osx because it tries to write to /usr/share/java to store the libraries etc.
When I ran ant, the build didn't work, running sudo allowed it continue (but from now on running just ant w/o sudo is fine, I guess it was just initially to write to that folder). Anyhow, I'll try the svn then thanks.
