Why do you feel that this is an error?  Did you try the command in the 
form that it was written, and if so, what happened?  (It works fine for me.)

If you look at the helpfile for the svn checkout command (which you can 
see if you enter the "svn help checkout" command), you'll see that it 
has an optional PATH argument, which tells it the name of the directory 
that it should put the checked-out files into.  That's what the "gcc" is 
in form of the command that's given.
