Can't build mysql-gui-common

[Antony Gelberg]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build mysql-gui-common from svn as per
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Building_MySQL_GUI_Tools_on_Linux.  However,
upon running autogen.sh I get:

checking for unicode support in pcre... ./configure: line 23467: syntax
error near unexpected token `}'
./configure: line 23467: `echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6; }'

The relevant part of configure (with a ***** in line 23467) looks like:

if { (ac_try="$ac_link"
case "(($ac_try" in
  *\"* | *\`* | *\\*) ac_try_echo=\$ac_try;;
  *) ac_try_echo=$ac_try;;
esac
eval "echo \"\$as_me:$LINENO: $ac_try_echo\"") >&5
  (eval "$ac_link") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); } && { ac_try='./conftest$ac_exeext'
  { (case "(($ac_try" in
  *\"* | *\`* | *\\*) ac_try_echo=\$ac_try;;
  *) ac_try_echo=$ac_try;;
esac
eval "echo \"\$as_me:$LINENO: $ac_try_echo\"") >&5
  (eval "$ac_try") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  (exit $ac_status); }; }; then
  HAVE_UNICODE_PCRE=1 { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: yes" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}yes" >&6; } # 23467
else
  echo "$as_me: program exited with status $ac_status" >&5
echo "$as_me: failed program was:" >&5
sed 's/^/| /' conftest.$ac_ext >&5

( exit $ac_status )
HAVE_UNICODE_PCRE=0 { echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: no" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; }
fi
rm -f core *.core core.conftest.* gmon.out bb.out conftest$ac_exeext
conftest.$ac_objext conftest.$ac_ext
fi

I'd appreciate some guidance.  Is SVN broken?
