Argghg.... I made a change to the externals on svn head of both
OpenThreads & OpenSceneGraph, and I'm afraid the external properties
in the tags of OpenSceneGraph still refer to OpenThreads/trunk which
is why suddenly you have problems.

Using SVN to access any of the 1.9.x onward tags will exhibit this
problem too so we'll need to have a think about how best to update the
tags so the svn:externals property is updated to a specific
OpenThreads tag.

I am about to make OSG-2.3.7 which won't have this problem as it'll
not use externals.

Robert.
