Good point. The machine where this is failing is an Ubuntu Intrepid box... $ dpkg -l libsvn* | grep '^i' ii libsvn-perl 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 Perl bindings for Subversion ii libsvn1 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 Shared libraries used by Subversion ii libsvncpp1 0.9.6-1 Subversion C++ shared library dpkg -l subversion* | grep '^i' ii subversion 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2 Advanced version control system On the F9 box where things succeed... $rpm -qa subversion* subversion-perl-1.4.6-7.i386 subversion-1.4.6-7.i386 $ rpm -qa *svn* git-svn-1.6.0.6-3.fc9.i386 What are the versions in that F-10 box? Could it be an incompatibility with svn-1.5.x? cheers, m -- martin.langhoff@gmail.com martin@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff
