Have you configured the svn_config_dir parameter in viewvc.conf, pointing it
to a directory that is accessible to the user as whom ViewVC is running (the
Apache user)?

If you're comfortable temporarily tweaking your ViewVC source code, there is
a line in lib/viewvc.py (around line 2124) that looks like this:

    annotation = 'error'

Change that to say, instead:

    raise

And then hit one of these failing annotation views again.
