The Goldfish Chronicles

Amazing, my wife is in Boston for 5 days and I somehow am doing less coding at home than I usually manage. The usual routine s’all messed up.

I am however endeavouring to grokk subversion. Having failed to install it on Linux [SuSE] and OS X in the past, I was pretty low on hope. However, I did a source install on the Mac a week ago and am enjoying its use there [fink’s svn is useless, go straight from source with ./configure –with-ssl].

I can now repeat this happily on the SuSE box too [though you need to change the LANG variable to “C” and have openssl-devel installed]. The latter is a general linux tip I guess. If you ever seem to have problems in which an install is claiming you don’t have library xxxx, chances are you really need xxxx-devel.

Next up, a repeat attempt at installing the server.
