Hm.  Okay, do this:

      easy_install -eb. setuptools==dev06

This will create a setuptools subdirectory in the current directory.  Then do:

      cd setuptools
      python2.4 setup.py install

The problem that you're having is that your current version of easy_install 
is using the setuptools version that doesn't work right with Subversion 
1.4.  The above approach should work around the problem by only checking 
out the code, not building it.  The second step then builds it using the 
*new* version of setuptools, which doesn't have the problem.  Sorry about that.
