svn: Malformed network data

[Pep <pe...@ticketweb.co.uk>]

I have just built the latest subversion code and no matter what I do, I can 
only use the file:// protocol.

When ever I use the svn:// protocol I get the following message

svn: Malformed network data

Which makes subversion totally useless for my purposes as I need to be able to 
maintain projects across remote connections!

I have read numerous posts about this that are always answered with the glib 
statement that subversion only works with the apr and apr_util that comes 
with the subverison release and similar statements.

Well I have not got anything other than what comes with the subversion code so 
what gives?

Yes I have tried using the apr and apr_util that comes with the apache code 
but that also gives the same errors!

Help!  I really want to use subversion instead of cvs but do not see how this 
is possible at the moment.

Cheers,
Pep.

Okay I found out the problem and it appears it was me all along!

It was a case of ITFM, as in Ignore The F*cking Manual :-)

I was running the server through xinted but did not include the -i flag.

So all is well and I apologise for being frustrated with the project.  I am 
looking forward to working with subversion and gain the benefits it has over 
cvs.

Thanks for all help,
Pep.

Exactly the same thing I say to other people in ng's when they ask for help 
:-)

So having had my wrists slapped,

I am trying on both FreeBSD and RedHat as clients and the srever runs on the 
RedHat system

I use the command line

svn co svn://svn.mydomain.com/usr/local/subversion/trunk/myproject myproject

which does not work

The server is using xinetd 

I have connected to the svn port via telnet and have no problems

The command 

svn co file://svn.mydomain.com/usr/local/subversion/trunk/myproject myproject

works okay

the version of subversion on FreeBSD is 
svn, version 1.0.5 (r9954)

and on RedHat is
svn, version 1.2.0 (dev build)

Neither the FreeBSD or the RedHat systems can use the svn:// protocol

Cheers,
Pep.
