Trouble installing subversion 1.3.1 on SuSe 9.3
Dear users,
as the subject already says, i'm trying to install subversion 1.3.1
under SuSe Linux 9.3. I'm pretty new to linux and have only basic
knowledge.
I've tried installing subversion in a veriety of ways. With SSL,
without, with latest versions of neon and apache, with the versions
packed into the tarball. Either my combinations didn't work at all
or i get presented with this error message when trying to commit any
data from my local machine.
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:826: (apr_err=22)
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/cpp'
subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:389: (apr_err=22)
svn: Can't set position pointer in file
'/usr/local/svn/repos/cpp/db/revs/0': Invalid argument
My current working installation is running with apache and ssl.
I can connect to the server over both https and http but am getting
the same error. I tried using svn_serve which only leads to the same
end.
My desired repository location is /usr/local/svn/repos/*. This folder
(and all subfolder) are owned by the same user running apache (daemon).
For testing purposed i also applied chmod -R 777 to the repos folder.
To wrap this up, the packges i am using are the following:
OpenSSL - openssl-0.9.8b.tar.gz
Berkeley DB - db-4.4.20.tar.gz
Apache HTTPD - httpd-2.2.2.tar.gz
Subversion - subversion-1.3.1.tar.gz
If any more information is required i'd be happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance
Oliver

2.2 generally works, with the exception being on win32. The
documentation doesn't explicitly say it, but that doesn't make it any
less true.

Going through the Subversion documentation in "trunk", I see a lot of notes
on httpd-2.0, and not a single one for httpd-2.2. Even if it happens to work
for you under MacOS X, I wouldn't call that well supported.

Who says that? It works great for me with a small repository on Mac
OS X, and what I heard was that although the Windows binaries are
currently build for Apache 2.0.x, they could just as easily have been
built for 2.2.x and it should work.

I don't have direct access to the machine, which makes it harder for

by my provider. I'll try to manage to update to SuSE 10 though.

I'll try that as soon as i managed to update to SuSE 10.

Yes, i can. When i try to access the repository i get this in my

Then update to SuSE 10. Seriously, SuSE is ill-behaved when you start
stuffing in more recent versions of core facilities by hand-installing them.
That's what a distribution is for: to present a working set of compatible
software. Unless you're a developer, there's a real risk when you
hand-compile the bleeding edge versions of a stack of packages that they
won't play nicely together.
Also, there's a fabulous tool for doing SuSE RPM package update management,
called "fou4s". I highly recommend it over YaST, which doesn't know how to
mix and match from multiple sources and reverts things at odd moments.
Last, if you need the most versions, I see that SuSE publishes SRPM's for
subversion 1.3.0 for SuSE 10.x: why not grab that SRPM, and update it to
subversion 1.3.1 if you really need the most recent release? It should be
safer, especially if SuSe eventually catches up and you wind up switching
back to a default RPM: SuSe does some odd configuration things that will
bite you hard if you don't use their versions of software. (Don't get me
started on their dhcp and DNS oddnesses.)

OK, good.
Can you look into your HTTP logs for errors?

The directly available packages (over yast) are outdated. I will try
to use the ones from the suse mirrors and see if i have any luck.
I just always felt more comfortable compiling from source.

I've also tried 2.0. Actualy i tried to install the whole thing with
the versions as they were given in the INSTALL file. This gave me

What in the? OK, Stop trying to compile system-provided software from
tarballs. Seriously: you'll just give yourself an atomic wedgie trying to do
that, especially with somf of the vagaries in SuSE. Wherever possible, use
the available built-in RPM packages.
Second, HTTPD version 2.2 is not yet well supported for Subversion. Go back
to using the built-in HTTPD for SuSE, unless you want to be one of the
developers who works out the problems.
Third, if you need the latest version of Subversion, why not use the SRPM to
recompile for your SuSE release? Pretty good ones are available from the
Subversion website.
Fouth, does it work with "file://" based operations?

Those kind of errors often imply that your subversion libraries are
linked against a different version of APR than your Apache server is.
They both have to be linked against the same version.
