No, it's just a matter of running "./autogen.sh" in the top-level  
directory of your svn checkout. This script generates all required  
files for the autotools, including the configure script.

In fact, you don't need to *install* the svn version in order to test  
it. IIRC the current svn revision does not depend on stuff which is  
not installed anyway if you use a 0.9.9-1 ebuild. You could just build  
the svn revision and run that from the build directory, without even  
installing it.

I guess that'll work. I'm using the svn revision, but the code in  
question didn't change that much, so patches against my version are  
likely to apply cleanly to your version.

That's not a problem at this time. I'd like to retrieve as much  
information as possible using some patches before trying anything else.

Thanks for the log. Unfortunately it just confirms what we already  
know: the first dataset is added ok, all subsequent datasets fail  
while refdbd tries to add them to your personal reference list.

regards,
