Hello,

Looks like your version of make fails if the command svnversion doesn't exist. 
I tried this on a Linux box and it worked even though svnversion isn't installed.

Can you try applying this patch and see if it works:

Index: lib/Makefile.in

+++ lib/Makefile.in     (working copy)

	  done \
	done
	@echo 'cd ..; svnversion . 2>/dev/null'
-	@current_rev="`cd ..; svnversion . 2>/dev/null`"; \
+	@current_rev="`cd ..; svnversion . 2>/dev/null; true`"; \
	if test "$$current_rev" != "" && \
	    test "$$current_rev" != "exported"; then \
	  echo "Found good svnversion for `cd ..; pwd`: $$current_rev"; \


After applying the patch, run make once and then make install.

Thanks,
Blair
