Off topic semantics. The current development version of the book says that it's broken. It gives a link to an old (implied more stable, sorry for the confusion) version of the book, but not even the link works.
I've tried SVN-20060510 I believe and didn't have any better luck with that one. I was hoping the latest version would be closer to being able to be compiled.
