hi phillipe,

thx 4 the reply =)

is resultig a svn error of:

   A    lib/ModPerl/FunctionMap.pm
   svn: In directory 'lib/ModPerl'
   svn: Can't open 'lib/ModPerl/WrapXS.pm.tmp': Too many open files

i'm not seeing any such svn problems/errors on any other project's co,
so wondering if its specific to here ...

Sounds like your login environment is limiting the number of open files.

You can check what your setting is on must unixes with

$> ulimit -a
[...]
open files                      (-n) 1024
[...]

per your suggestion:

% ulimit -a
   ...
   open files                    (-n) 256
   ...

ok, so

% ulimit -n 1024
% ulimit -n
   256

huh?? ... <googling/> ...

ok, per:

   "Note that if you run the tcsh shell, ulimit will not work! tcsh will also
   report incorrect values when you ask for the current limits!"
   <http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.mysql.com/doc/en/Not_enough_file_ha
   ndles.html>

and:

"How do I change my default limits for stacksize, core file size, etc.?"
<http://www.ccs.ornl.gov/Ram/FAQ.html>

tcsh uses 'limit' rather than 'ulimit'.

so,

   % limit descriptors 1024
   % limit descriptors
       descriptors     1024
   % ulimit -n
       1024

(interesting ...)

now

% svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/trunk/ /usr/ports/mod_perl_svn
   ...
   Checked out revision 190632.


greaat, thx!  i've honestly come across this problem before ... good to know.

cheers,

richard
