I'm guessing that whatever network protocol is used to provide that
volume is not compatible with the file locking that bzr requires. Do you
know which network protocol it is?

Ouch.

Install Pyrex for the default Mac OS X python (i.e. not the MacPorts
python) and Qt 4.6.1 (Cocoa 32-bit). You'll also need the Mac OS X
developer tools installed (Xcode, etc.).

Then run the following in a directory suitable for storing source and
build output (I use ~/Projects):

bzr branch lp:bzr-mac-installers/2.1 bzr-mac-installers-2.1
cd bzr-mac-installers-2.1
python fetch-external.py -p
python build.py -d

If necessary change the 'python' above so that it invokes the default
Mac OS X python.

That should download all the other requirements and build. On a MacBook
Pro circa 2006, it takes about 30 minutes to build. You'll need about
70MB for the downloaded packages and 60MB for the build output files.

Ciao,
