Looks like you are using kernel 2.6.13 or older.
The subversion trunk is for the latest kernels.org kernel only, which
is 2.6.14 as of this writing.

Please note, that to load sdp, at and addr modules in kernel 2.6.14, you have
to apply the following kernel patch

https://openib.org/svn/gen2/trunk/src/linux-kernel/patches/linux-2.6.14-fib-frontend.diff

If you want to work on older kernels, you need to apply the backport patches
to the subversion repository. Find them here
