One word: Nightmare!

How on Earth, can I install SVN/Subversion on that bloody operating system , so it will include bindings for either Perl or Ruby ?! fighting with it for last two days… finally got source to at least compile  … but even if I have Ruby ( from CSW ) and Perl ( by Sun ) I just can’t get binding for them …

Why it can’t just work… like on Linux distributions ( Ubuntu/Gentoo , you name it … ) …

The other thing, this Solaris is running inside Microsoft Virtual Server… on a decent machine … but it is slow like Dell PE2400 which I use for concept testing … and no, VS machine is not taken over by other VM …
