These are all hosted on svn.cct.lsu.edu, which we have found to be very unreliable.  It might be that the machine (or connection) was down when you tried it.  Can you try it again?

We might want to think about moving these repositories to a more reliable server, for example svn.einsteintoolkit.org.

Alternatively, it might be that there is a routing problem between NERSC and CCT.  Can you try 

	ping svn.cct.lsu.edu

from one of the affected machines?

PS: your WaveDemo build fails because the wavedemo thornlist is not up to date.  It needs to be modified to include the Vectors thorn (see the ET thornlist for an example).

The Cactus thornlists are out of date - see
