I have Ubuntu Linux 10.4 installed on my notebook computer named Lenny. I have
the same system installed on my desktop computer named Athol (I had a lot of
trouble getting that hardware to work). I have installed the Ubuntu Subversion
packages on each; namely
subversion
libapache2-svn
libgirepository-1.0-1
In both cases the SVNParentPath is /data/svn and that directory is owned by
www-data:
drwxr-xr-x 5 www-data www-data 4096 2011-07-22 09:16 /data/svn
Here is the critical command:
sudo -u www-data svnadmin create /data/svn/boofar
On Lenny the command works, silently. On Athol I get this message:
svnadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libsvn_repos-1.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Apparently svnadmin cannot find something, but I don't know what it can't find.
In both cases /usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.1 is a symoblic link to:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153700 2011-06-05 22:48
/usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.1.0.0
I Googled for that error message and somebody had a problem with the home directory
locations. The implication was that for some reason a Subversion distribution hard-codes
the name of the home directory parent path (e.g. "/home"). No problem with my
home directories; the arrangement is identical. On both machines my home directory is
/data/andy and /home/andy is a symbolic link to /data/andy.
So any idea why svnadmin runs OK on one machine and fails on the other?
Is there perhaps a second (older) copy of Subversion or its libraries
installed, perhaps provided by your distribution? If so, try uninstalling that.
Nope; I installed subversion on Athol yesterday, and I run apt-get
upgrade frequently.
UPDATE - ANOTHER TEST
I used 'tar' to move /data/svn/sample3 - an existing repository - from
Lenny to Athol. Now I can point my browser to http://athol/svn/sample3
and see the usual status screen. For command on Lenny:
* svn info http://localhost/svn/sample3*
The response is:
* Authentication realm: <http://localhost:80> Lenny Subversion Repository
Password for 'andy':
Path: sample3
URL: http://localhost/svn/sample3

But this command on Athol:

*gives this error result:
* vn: error while loading shared libraries: libsvn_client-1.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*
*So the problem is in the client, not on the apache server.
And both svnadmin and svn show the same problem.*
