Hi George Looks like you have a symlink named django inside your django installation which points back to it self. Try something like this: cd /path/to/svn/checkout/django ls -al if you see a symlink in there named django remove it: rm django And all should be fine again. hope this helps ps: you can reproduce this kind of problem like this: mkdir $HOME/test cd /tmp/ ln -s $HOME/test test cd /tmp/test ln -s $HOME/test test After that you'll have a endless hierarchy of symlinks. e.g. /tmp/test/test/test/test/..../test --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
