Rakudo on OS X 10.4

I've decided to do the download, compile and run the test suite for each of the Perl6 implementations which are being actively developed: Rakudo , SMOP , and Elf . Rakudo seems to have the largest number of developers, the most activity, and passes more of the spec tests. So I'll start with it. From the Get Rakudo page I found the latest snapshots . At the time I'm writing, the latest snapshot is rakudo-2009-04.tar.gz . So starting with my macbook running OS X 10.4... I downloaded it, opened terminal, untarred it, cd'd into the resulting rakudo-2009-04 dir and per the instructions executed: $ perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot This results in: Generating Parrot ... perl build/gen_parrot.pl Checking out Parrot r38250 via svn... Can't exec "svn": No such file or directory at build/gen_parrot.pl line 46. [...] Looks like I never reinstalled Subversion when I reinstalled OS X 10.4 onto a larger drive. Okay. So I head over to http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.h
