Re: unable to open an ra_local...

Read the FAQ:
    http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#portability
    http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#nfs

Note that when we say "NFS" we mean _any_ network file sharing mechanism.

And please send your questions to the users@ list, not to me personally.

BDB is not supported on Win9x or ME.

Switch to 1.1 and use an fsfs repository. It solves your problems.

HTH,

Erik.

Even if I misunderstood about "shared drive", it is still the case that 
the svn-1.0.x server doesn't work on Win98.

I could be wrong, but I think when Mariano says "shared partition", he
means "accessible by both Windows and Linux on the same machine", rather
than shared on a network drive.

(So, if I remember rightly, the problem is that the BDB file format isn't
portable between operating systems - though in this case one *may* be able
to get away with running "svnadmin recover" on the repository every time
the OS is switched, it's not recommended). I believe the recommended
solution is to use FSFS (with subversion 1.1).
