Yay, I "dared" to look in configure, and found: # we need some subversion tools if this is a working copy # test to see if this is a working copy # if it's not a wc, use the included version.h if test -d .svn; then # check for commandline tools to create version.h # Extract the first word of "svnwcrev", so it can be a program name with args. <snip...>
then I remembered I had done: svn export http://svn.pumacode.org/repos/vss2svn/trunk/ vss2svn instead of: svn checkout http://svn.pumacode.org/repos/vss2svn/trunk/ vss2svn through some sort of obsessive compulsive desire not to have unnecessary working copies :( Bingo! Rerunning everything now gets me as far as (again, sudo was needed): ubu...@ubuntu:~/vss2svn$ sudo ./Build install /usr/bin/perl ssphys/ssphys.PL bin/ssphys make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Any ideas? Big thanks for helping so much so far : )
