@Nohua Terzi:

I had the same error on a Solaris 10 SPARC. The problem seems to be that the system LD_LIBRARY_PATH had /usr/local/lib as the first item and that was overriding the need to use the CollabNet supplied libraries. Here is a wrapper script that fixes the problem by putting the libraries included with the client first in LD_LIBRARY_PATH only on execution of the subversion client. You will need to change the paths to match the details of your local installation.

#!/bin/bash
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/CollabNet_Subversion/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/bin/svn $*

Thanks so much for this… it was driving me crazy trying to get svn installed on an old solaris box and your tips did the trick!

Hi all,
I tried to install subversion 1.5.0, I followed this guide but I had this error:

/lib/libneon.so: undefined reference to `SSL_CTX_set_client_cert_cb’
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [subversion/svn/svn] Error 1

Could you please help me.

Joe,

I am trying to upgrade Subversion 1.4.5 to 1.6.3. I have followed the instructions on this page and successfully installed 1.6.3 as a first step

I am not sure on how to upgrade the 1.4.5. I read it on http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.6_releasenotes.html. It states that “To upgrade an existing installation, just install the newest libraries and binaries on top of the older ones.”

Could you please let me know whether it means that I need to copy the latest apr, apr-util, neon libs and binaries along with the ones of SVN 1.6.3 over 1.4.5?

Thanks,

Stuart

Thanks! You’re a lifesaver!! Got this working on a webfaction shared server after I had a dismal time trying to compile on my own. :(

Take a look at this mail thread which seems the same as what you're seeing. You might need to specify a specific version of sqlite.

Hi getting problems on my shared host.

Have downloaded subversion-1.6.2 and subversion-deps-1.6.2

Have separately built neon, apr, and apr_util as described in the 64 bit section.

When I come to do the last bit ie

This is the configure that I went with:

./configure –prefix=$HOME –without-berkeley-db \
–with-ssl –with-editor=/usr/bin/vim \
–without-apxs –without-apache

when I run make && makeinstall I crash out with this error:

make: *** [subversion/libsvn_subr/sqlite.lo] Error 1

Not quite sure what to do here now. Was wondering if needed to download and also build sqlite.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Malcolm
