Mark, excellent! It’s exactly how you said, though Homebrew doesn’t provide Serf as a separate package anymore and instead includes it in SVN as a private package, it was still on my machine from the original installation a long time ago. Running ‘brew remove serf’ did fix it.
Thank you! Torsten On Mar 13, 2014, at 7:04 AM, Mark Phippard <markp...@gmail.com> wrote: I had a similar problem with Homebrew. In my case, SVN still worked but it was using an older version of Serf than 1.3.4. I think this is because Homebrew used to have Serf as a package and SVN used it. They then changed the packaging so that Serf is a private library of the Subversion package. Even though Serf was no longer a package, somehow the library was still there and being picked up at runtime. I do not remember exactly how I fixed it, but I think I used something like brew clean serf or brew remove serf. Then when I rebuilt SVN again it build a new Serf 1.3.4 and used it.

I installed subversion via Homebrew and it had previously worked. I can’t say for sure anymore what exactly happened, but recently this is what happened (not necessarily in exactly that order): 1) Installed the upgrade to Mac OS 10.9.2 2) Upgraded to Xcode 5.1 + Command Line Tools 3) Upgraded subversion to 1.8.8 I since tried to remove subversion via ‘brew remove subversion’ and reinstalled it as follows (the error still persists though): ~: brew install --with-python --build-from-source subversion ==> Downloading http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=subversion/subversion-1.8.8.tar.bz2 Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/subversion-1.8.8.tar.bz2 ==> Patching patching file subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native/Makefile.PL.in Hunk #1 succeeded at 76 (offset 7 lines). patching file configure.ac ==> Downloading http://serf.googlecode.com/svn/src_releases/serf-1.3.4.tar.bz2 Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/subversion--serf-1.3.4.tar.bz2 scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... Then it compiles without any errors. But when I try to run svn from the command line, I get an error: ~: svn svn: E200019: ra_serf was compiled for serf 1.3.4 but loaded an incompatible 1.1.1 library How can I identify the incompatible version 1.1.1 library that is being loaded and/or how do I fix this?
