Presumably that's "not present or not executable":

$ man test

        ...

     -x file       True if file exists and is executable.  True indicates only
                   that the execute flag is on.  If file is a directory, true
                   indicates that file can be searched.

        ...

I suspect their problem was that they didn't have Subversion installed on the build machine, so there was no svnversion 
command available:

The User's Guide says "36497 for Wireshark 1.5"; should we do as we do for the programs, and not bother giving the SVN 
version number if you're not building from SVN?
