Hi Will, Thanks for the reply. Here's the error message I'm getting:
Generating Parrot ... /usr/bin/perl build/gen_parrot.pl via svn...t Parrot r37980 'vn: Syntax error in revision argument '37980 And I just tried it again, after changing line 47 to: system("svn checkout -r" . $required . " https://svn.parrot.org/parrot/trunkparrot"); I was able to do a checkout of parrot. Btw, my machine is running Ubuntu, Intrepid Ibex.
