Installation of SVN

[Swarup Anand <sw...@gmail.com>]

I have built subversion rpm files from the subversion source codes directly
in my rhel 5 server.

I tried to install all the rpm files created during the build process. The
following files have been installed successfully .

mod_dav_svn-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
subversion-debuginfo-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
subversion-perl-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
subversion-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
subversion-devel-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm
subversion-python-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm

But during the installation of subversion-tools-1.6.5-1.i386.rpm I got the
following error.

error: Failed dependencies:
        perl(File::Path) >= 1.0404 is needed by
subversion-tools-1.6.5-1.i386

To solve this error I downloaded File-Path-2.08 perl module from the site
www.cpan.org.

I installed this by untaring the file provided and executing the following
commands

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

The respective installation has been completed successfully.

After this if I try to install the subversion tools rpm again it still
displays the same error about the dependencies. Please help me out with the
same.

I am stuck and need to finish this as soon as possible.

Thanks

You need to install an RPM of File::Path, i. e. either look
for a perl-File-Path-$SOMETHING.rpm or build one yourself
with cpanspec.
