Hi Will,
Thanks for the reply. Here's the error message I'm getting:
Generating Parrot ...
/usr/bin/perl build/gen_parrot.pl
via svn...t Parrot r37980
'vn: Syntax error in revision argument '37980
And I just tried it again, after changing line 47 to:
system("svn checkout -r" . $required . "
https://svn.parrot.org/parrot/trunkparrot";);
I was able to do a checkout of parrot.
Btw, my machine is running Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex.
Regards,
Sam
