svn install script issues

Hi all,

I've been trying out the refdb-svn install script on an Ubuntu 8.04
(i.e. debian variant) machine. I keep getting two errors after a
successful build that I can't figure out:


> sudo refdb-svn -h
> /usr/local/bin/refdb-svn: 52: declare: not found
> /usr/local/bin/refdb-svn: 559: Syntax error: "do" unexpected (expecting "}")

(get the same whether I use sudo or not)

I followed the instructions on the man pages and built a ~/.refdb-svnrc
file with the appropriate debian peculiarities fixed, but still nothing.

Anybody know what the issue is? Is there an easy way of building the svn
version without the script?

Thanks much!
