Thanks Pavel, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "clean checkout". However I tried svn cleanup then svn update after which the ar.po problem seems to have gone away and the make continued for quite a while but stopped with:
Making all in support make all-am gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I./.. -I../../boost -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_KEYWORDS -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.3/include -I/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.3/include/QtCore -Wextra -Wall -MT LinkBack.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/LinkBack.Tpo -c -o LinkBack.o `test -f 'linkback/LinkBack.m' || echo './'`linkback/LinkBack.m gcc: linkback/LinkBack.m: Objective-C compiler not installed on this system make[5]: *** [LinkBack.o] Error 1 I seem to recall having a similar problem in the past and concluding that "Objective-C compiler not installed on this system" was a mis-leading error message but am not really sure. Any ideas, Thanks Roger
