I'm trying to fix this bug:
Assertion `*path != '/'' failed.
I was able to fix some stuff, and now I'm trying to use Alien::SVN. Awesome! It worked!
On a debian system, I used CPAN to install Alien::SVN, like this:
cpan force install Alien::SVN
It took me a few times to figure out that when prompted to configure Subversion, I had to use /usr/lib as the libdir:
Run Subversion's configure now? [y ] y Would you like to pass any arguments to configure? [--libdir=/usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/Alien/SVN --prefix=/usr/local ]--libdir=/usr/lib
