Hi,

I have to install subversion on AIX 5.1.

Is there some binaries ready to install ? Or do I need to compile sources on AIX ?

Any help welcomed

Thanks !

Did you build svn yourself?

Have you tried a pre-built version of svn? If not then I would advice you to try the following one.

http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=Main.ListOfPackages

It still have way to much stacked dependencies, but may in the end save you from a lot of trouble and time compared to building it yourself.

Hi,

thanks for your anwser. No I get it from Bull as binairies (http://www.bullfreeware.com/recherche.php). Few days ago I tried with Perlz binaries. But I failed getting all dependencies resolved.
Something strange happens. I found somewhere on the net, someone said use: "unset LIBPATH" from bash and I succeed starting SVN.

But each time I reconnect I need to enter this command. If I dont unset ...., I still get the error message.

Have you any ideas about that ?

I think I have a LIBPATH problem under KSH and in BASH. I will look at my profile

Well you can eventually get svn to work by using the Perzl RPM distribution, but as I think you have noticed svn is truly horrible when it comes to installing (and worse if compiling from scratch). If I recall correctly I think you have to install a major part of the whole RPM distribution in order to get a clean install of the svn RPM. A lot of patience is needed!

In AIX you should normally avoid setting/defining any LIBPATH variables.

It does indeed look like you have it set in your login profile somewhere, did you find it? Standard AIX login scripts don't define the LIBPATH variable.

Hi,

thanks for your help. I tried lot of rpm from Peltz but all failed due to dependencies which awfull to retrieve.

Bash is needed by SVN, so I think I need to set bash profile for the svn administrator.

Again thanks for your help.

I did what you said, I put unset LIBPATH at the end of my .kshrc file.

OnAIX 5.3, I used svnkit, a java svn client, in order not to have to get into a compilation process on AIX, which is often painful :

http://svnkit.com/download.php

Uncompress in a folder, put it in your path; if I remember correctly, you must have too a JAVA_HOME correctly defined. Just a suggestion, I was happy with that product, but I haven't been using it for a while :)

Thanks for your post, but I was only interested in the server part of subversion
