Not on the terminal, but only in SourceTree I got this error (full text below):
Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC
Well, the Xcode binaries were here:
$ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
On Mavericks, perl is this version:
$ perl --version | grep -w for
This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 2 (v5.16.2) built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 3 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
and git is this:
$ git --version
git version 1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)
Steps for fixing are at these blog entries:
All these solutions point you to change the system Perl installation, but since on my system it failed only on SourceTree, but from the terminal, I wanted to fix SourceTree.

pip is a great tool for installing Python packages.
But upgrading them still isn’t so great. Here are two statements: the first to list packages needing an update. The second updating them:
pip freeze –local | grep -v ‘^\-e’ | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1
pip freeze –local | grep -v ‘^\-e’ | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip install -U
If you’re interested in pip, it is easy to install if it isn’t already included in your version of Python that is..

I’ve seen this compiler error in Delphi XE8 and others in Delphi XE6 and XE7 using a project depending on the built-in FastReports:
F2051 Unit fs_iinterpreter was compiled with a different version of fs_isysrtti.TfsSysFunctions
This will probably fail in more recent versions as well.
The easiest workaround is this:
- Fast Report XE6 (4.15.10)
- Fast Report XE7 (Version 5.1.5)
- Fast Report XE8 (Version 5.2)
The problem could be solved with help of technical support (Paul Gursky).
The solution is to remove all pas files from:
- LibD20 (XE6)
- LibD21 (XE7)
- LibD22 (XE8)
- LibD22x64 (XE8)
The above is paraphrased from Fast Reports forum > Fatal Error F2051 when compiling under Delphi XE6 and XE7
The core of the problem is that Fast Reports stores .dcu/.hpp/.pas files in the same directory whereas Delphi itself stores the .dcu/.hpp/.o files in one directory (actually usually in debug and release directories for each supported platform like win32, win64, etc).
Note: the built-in Fast Reports limits a few features, for instance export to Excel is not supported.

Every once in a while I do Command-line Building With csc.exe.
When building libraries, it throws this error:
The reason is that by default it wants to build a program.
Change this default by adding the /target:library parameter.

At first you’d think that gists can only hold text files. That’s not true, and I hinted to this last week in Hosting an HTML gist containing JavaScript.
As gists are git repositories, you can put any file in it through git, even binary files, though the gist UI nor a lot of the tools – including gist(1) – support uploading binary files in a gist.
This post – though old, so the screenshots are not current any more, but the commands still are current – explains how to clone the gist and add binaries (in this case images): How To Upload Image / Binary File to Gist | Hanxue and IT
This is for instance how I created a gist containing openssl Darwin binaries to help solve https://github.com/drwetter/testssl.sh/issues/362.

The below batch file finds and runs the latest vsvars32.bat on a system.
vsvars32.bat initializes the path and other environment variables to run Visual Studio and command-line tools (like csc.exe, xsd.exe, editbin.exe).
The batch file employs a few tricks from:
:: Run the most recent vsvars32.bat
:: test these environment variables that have 110 or 120 in them (future enhancements: support more Visual Studio versions):
:: Visual Studio .NET 2002: VS70COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio .NET 2003: VS71COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2005: VS80COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2008: VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2010: VS100COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2012: VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2013: VS120COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\
:: VS130COMNTOOLS was skipped: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1215607-visual-studio-13-to-be-skipped-vnext-to-be-v14/
:: Visual Studio 2015: VS130COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\
:: They contain `vsvars32.bat` which will update the `PATH` so it includes where `xsd.exe`, `csc.exe`, `editbin.exe` and others reside
:: Different examples: https://github.com/noop-dev/c-cgdk/blob/master/compile-vscpp.bat
:: and https://code.google.com/p/xvid4psp/source/browse/trunk/bin/4Gb+patcher.bat

Embarcadero closes down their spanish R&D office putting some 80 people on the street and diminishing the total Delphi R&D team.
Former Chief Scientist Allen Bauer commented:
The Spain office had taken on most of the IDE, Delphi RTL, GetIT, Installer, some DB, Bluetooth components, IoT, QA, and other miscellaneous tasks. They were by-far the largest single group working on RAD Studio. They were all a wonderful, dedicated, excited group of folks. They were eager to learn and truly enjoyed their jobs. I am deeply saddened by this development.

Yesterday I told:
Recently I did my very first JavaScript in HTML development. Since it was a one page experiment, I didn’t want to put it in an official repository of it’s own…
which reminded me of JavaScript is not Java – A humorous comparison of JavaScript and Java.
And still lots of uneducated people think they are the same, for instance the NBC Chicago publishes this at the start of the year:
Java Developer; What they do: Program websites using JavaScript.
They fixed it later but then the harm was already done (besides making a lot of fun of themselves and others making fun out of them too):
Java Developer; What they do: Write programs used by mobile devices, websites and mainframes.
