Trying to run subversion on Fedora Core 1
I'm trying to install fedora on what I think is a stock Fedora Core 1
installation (it's a virtual private server).
I just run yum install subversion.
It installs fine, but when I run svnadmin create myrepo, I get the
following error:
svn: Berkeley DB error
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem
testdb/db: Invalid argument
I've tried several things:
1) yum update
yum install subversion
(it installs version 0.32.1-5
2) Tried updating bdb to 4.2 first through yum update (changing repos to
use FC2 so it'll grab new stuff)
This installed 1.0.4-2 I think.
Both got the same error. What does that error mean?
uname -r:
2.4.20-021stab021.12.777-smp
Thanks,

I tried using the RPMs you suggested, but I still get the same errors.

So if I read the faq right, that means I need to build my own db4,
right? So if I install a source RPM of db4-4.2.52 it should work?
Thanks,

I would go with a more updated version. I had some problems with the
FC1 version and I really wanted to keep a little more currrent. So I
found 2 places to get SVN rpms for FC1:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/subversion/
-and-
http://atrpms.net/name/subversion/
I tried the DAG rpms first and they worked great I'm now up and running
a svn+ssh server and things are great.

I would go with a more updated version. I had some problems with the
FC1 version and I really wanted to keep a little more currrent. So I
found 2 places to get SVN rpms for FC1:
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/subversion/
-and-
http://atrpms.net/name/subversion/
I tried the DAG rpms first and they worked great I'm now up and running
a svn+ssh server and things are great.

So.... I went and grabbed source RPMS and built and installed:
db4(-devel) 4.2.52-3.1
apr(-devel) 0.9.4-21
apr-util(-devel) 0.9.4-16
subversion 1.0.5-1
I still have db4-4.1.25-14 installed because I saw a mail in the archive
suggesting to do that because of it being required by so many things.
I run ldd /usr/bin/svn and it shows libdb-4.2.so
I still get the same error.

That almost sounds like the NPTL problem that is talked about in the FAQ.
However, in any event, you will need to pay close attention to httpd, apr,
apr-utils, and db packages when you do your update. If any of those are
wrong then bad things will happen.
