here are some detailed instructions for Linux (tested on SL5 and OpenSuse). The required svn client should be available on any standard Linux installation.

 svn list svn+ssh://svn.cern.ch/reps/siddbd/trunk

should say

Chapter_Benchmarking/
Chapter_Calorimetry/
Chapter_ConceptOverview/
Chapter_Costs/
Chapter_ElectronicsDAQ/
Chapter_ForwardSystems/
Chapter_Introduction/
Chapter_MDI/
Chapter_Magnet/
Chapter_MuonSystem/
Chapter_SimReco/
Chapter_Summary/
Chapter_Tracker/
Chapter_Vertex/
DBDMain/

then just do

 svn co  svn+ssh://svn.cern.ch/reps/siddbd/trunk <Your chosen Directory Name>

then cd into this directory

 cd <Your chosen Directory Name>

and do an ls, you should see

Chapter_Benchmarking     Chapter_ElectronicsDAQ  Chapter_MDI         Chapter_Tracker
Chapter_Calorimetry      Chapter_ForwardSystems  Chapter_MuonSystem  Chapter_Vertex
Chapter_ConceptOverview  Chapter_Introduction    Chapter_SimReco     DBDMain
Chapter_Costs            Chapter_Magnet          Chapter_Summary

now to compile the DBD, you 'll need a Latex installation and Python

On more recent Linux distributions, you'll find texlive and it will work finde (Version of Texlive 2010) or newer

if you are stuck with SL5 (default at CERN, DESY, etc.) you may need a more recent version of Latex, so try 

/afs/cern.ch/sw/XML/TL2011/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex

this needs to be activated in compile.py

 
then proceed

cd DBDMain
python compile.py
acroread DBD.pdf &

and that is all.

More Details on Building &Editing the DBD can be found he
