svn+ssh: problem accessing svnserve

[Bill Kavadas <bi...@nec.com.au>]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using svn with ssh "tunneling". I've got 
subversion 1.0.1 and Linux on both boxes.

I've got a repository created on a remote machine - OK
I've got an account on the remote machine which I can ssh to - OK

On my local machine I type:
svn list svn+ssh://usernam@remote.machine.com/path/to/repos

and get

bash: svnserve: command not found
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

I don't have root access on the remote box so the svn binaries are 
sitting in a subdir in my home dir.

Seems like an access issue but I can't think what - if I ssh in 
normally, I can run svnserve OK - it's in my PATH on the remote box. I 
can connect OK if I use svnserve -d and set the appropriate access 
controls but I'd like to be able to get it going with svn+shh.

Any insights appreciated.

Cheers,
Bill

Solved my own problem - seems when the connection is made with SSH it 
doesn't login, hence it doesn't read the .bash_profile where my PATH is 
set. I moved the PATH for svnserve to .bashrc (since it does start a 
shell - just not a login shell) and it worked.

Yeah - I just realised after I sent the post! :-/
Thanks for your help anyway!

Cheers,

Here's what I have to get things to work. svn is in /home/jeff/bin.

$ more ~/.ssh/environment
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/jeff/bin

also try this:

$ ssh yourserver echo \$PATH

and see what you get (this assumes bash shell)
