so far, not going too smoothly - I first removed kommander, which 
automatically removed quanta and kdewebdev, using apt-get - no problem there.

things start going downhill - here's the output from my terminal...

dan at hogwarts:~/bin$ svn co 
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdewebdev
svn: No such revision 772446

(the command was on one line)
so I tried kdesvn, and was able to let the open dialog make it's way to the 
svn repository - the repository checkout worked (though I received several 
certificate failures, but accepted them to get what looks like a complete 
download)

Also downloaded the plug-ins from trunk (same certificate issues, but it's 
downloaded also)

When I downloaded these were marked as "HEAD" in kdesvn - don't know if that's 
okay, or if that helps.  (again, I've never used svn before, so I'm not up to 
speed on what the options mean)

more problems...  output from terminal...

dan at hogwarts:~/bin/kdewebdev$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

./admin/cvs.sh: 651: --version: not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

(I have autoconf 2.61 installed, and accessible from a terminal, and cvs 
1.12.13 also installed and accessible from a terminal)

any ideas or suggestions?  I can provide more detail, if I know what it's 
looking for.

Also, this is not a high priority - I'm sure you've got much more important 
issues going on with kommander, than why an svn download doesn't work with a 
specific workstation.  

I was surprised that the first svn command failed to find the version, but if 
the first-time checkout works for others, then I'll be glad to troubleshoot 
my own implementation if you don't see something very obvious.

Perhaps if I try using more coffee ;-)
Thanks for the help...
