Newbie to Subversion
Greetings!
I'm somewhat befuddled with Subversion ..
I have installed Subversion 1.1.1. and the Berkeley DB 4.3.21 on my
Mac OS X 10.3.6.
I seem to have successfully installed these two applications (no
halting or alarming "make install" errors),
yet when I attempt to run svnserve, svnadmin create, etc., (as
dictated by the Quickstart Guide, README IV),
absolutely nothing happens.
Am I shamefully missing an integral and elementary step somewhere?
I've also installed Apache 2. I would like to get Subversion to be
up and running as quickly
and as painlessly as possible, (sadly, no avail!).
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Janice

Ah, this is *much* more helpful than your previous:

Which was flat out wrong. Something did happen. You got an error
message. And a useful one at that. The command couldn't be found.
So now we have a chance at a meaningful answer (which of course may be
wrong :-D):
Could it be that the directory subversion got installed to is not in
your PATH environment variable?
You write that make install went fine. But where did it install the
stuff to? And is that directory in your $PATH? (You can always do a make
install again and investigate the output)
prompt:$ echo $PATH
# Check to see whether the place e.g. svnadmin got installed to
# is listed!
A guess: A lot of times things get installed in /usr/local/bin, so:
prompt:$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
# (should get you an svnadmin somewhere...) Try:
prompt:$ svnadmin

hi Lukas,
whenever i try to do 'svnadmin' i get :
svnadmin:command not found.
does this mean my installation did not go through?
sorry for my ignorance .. thanks for your help!

AFAIK BDB 4.3 is not supported by official stable subversion-1.1.1
try to run 'svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs new_repository'
if it works and all ather commands work too, you will know, that the
problem is BDB. If it fails, it may be some other problem :((
bu try this first
