I had the same problem when I built the last delivery
of Gobo. I think that the problem is that the .svn
directories are read-only. The CVS directories used to
be read-write. And there is no functionality in the Gobo
file classes to change the permissions of files ;-(
That's why I asked you to use 'svn export' and not
'svn checkout' when I asked you to built the delivery
of Gobo on Linux, do you remember?

BTW, does anyone want to boycott this yahoo mailing list ;-)
