Ok, blatant marketing post but hey, it is my site. If you haven't tried out SproutBuilder, do. If you have and you like it, use it, can't live without it, then cast an Open Web Award vote for it.
Just select 'Embeddable widgets' from the the first list, 'Sprout' from the second and cast that vote. Gotta love democracy.
I ran into an issue where I needed to update the command line version of SVN on my Mac to 1.5.x. After a little research it looked easy, install MacPorts and then run a sudo port install subversion to get the latest version of Subversion.
Unfortunately things went downhill real fast. I kept getting an Error 77 and a list of dependencies that needed to be installed. I figured error 77 was related to the dependencies so I tried to install the dependencies first, no dice and error 77 kept showing up.
Here's the error.
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_ncursesw/work/ncurses-5.6" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --enable-widec --disable-rpath --with-shared --without-debug --without-ada --enable-safe-sprintf --enable-sigwinch --mandir=/opt/local/share/man " returned error 77
After a lot of digging I came across an obscure post that mentioned you need XCode installed to get Subversion running. After a massive XCode download and install, fired up ports again, installed the dependencies (this post was super helpful) and presto, svn 1.5.4.
