I’m using the Shovel recipe to deploy my lovely app to text drive.  
everyhting seems to be ok apart from the deploy action which fails  
saying that there is “No such file or directory” I’ve included the full  
error listing below.

The SVN definately exists because we’re using for development.

Does any one have any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks  
Tom

Tom,

You need a command-line subversion client installed on your local  
machine. If you have one, please make sure you’ve got the ‘svn’  
command-line utility in your path.

Jamis,

Thanks for this, it works great, just in case anyone else has the same  
issues,  
the SVN command line for windows is available here:

[http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/29065/svn-1.3.0-setup.exe](http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/29065/svn-1.3.0-setup.exe)

The thing you need to add to the path is “c:\Program  
Files\Subversion\bin”, assuming you install it in the default location.

This ruby community is great.  
Cheers  
Tom

You may find it adds itself to the path - it did for me (XP Pro)

Justin is correct, you only need to add it to the path manually if you  
have Windows 2000. If you have XP the installation should take care of  
it.
