[tahoe-dev] Install Trouble, gcc errors (Not darcsy enough)

[Josh Wilcox]

  I notice that the installer seems to expect that the source is in a darcs
repository, from the "Not a repository:" component of the preceding error
message.
 If it must be in a darcs repository should we change the install howto.

  I'm off to test installing with source in darcs repo.
