Hi Dan,

I can't comment about the script errors as I didn't write this one  
myself. I'll investigate as soon as time permits.

In any case, building from svn without that script is of course  
possible. All you need to do is to check out the sources:

svn co https://refdb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/refdb/refdb/trunk refdb

This will create a new subdirectory refdb with the svn sources. cd  
into that directory, and run

./configure [your options]
make
make install

Whenever you want to update the sources, cd into the refdb directory and run

svn update

That's about it.

regards,
Markus
