ICub software
Effective August 2009, YARP and iCub software repositories have been moved to SourceForge.net servers and must be downloaded with Subversion (SVN).
It is recommended that you rename your old (CVS) iCub and yarp2 directories and do a fresh download of the new SVN repositories.
Also, you should install an SVN client on your system if you do not have one already. For Windows, TortoiseSVN is recommended. If you have Linux, chances are high that you can just go ahead using svn in command line.

Getting the repository in Windows
Getting the repository in Linux
Paste the following command in a console terminal:
svn co https://robotcub.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/robotcub/trunk/iCub iCub
This will create a new directory called iCub that contains the software. Your environment variables ICUB_DIR and ICUB_ROOT should be set to that directory (e.g., /home/yourname/iCub).
