Hmm, hostinfo is supposed to be executable -- here I get

$ svn proplist -v hostinfo
Properties on 'hostinfo':
  svn:executable : *

If yours isn't, then maybe your working copy is out of date? maybe
your svn doesn't understand the executable property?

Anyway, "chmod +x hostinfo" should do the trick.

BTW, building software in /usr/bin/c2ada is not standard practice!
more typical to build in ~/c2ada (& then install in /usr/bin if you
must ..)
