python/svn issues....

[bruce]

hi...

in trying to get viewcvs up/running, i tried to do the following:

[root@lserver2 viewcvs-0.9.2]# python
Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 7 2004, 10:31:40)
[GCC 3.3.3 20040412 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.3-7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import svn.repos[/color][/color][/color]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File
"/dar/tmp/subversion-1.1.4-0.1.1.fc2.rf-root/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
/svn/repos.py", line 19, in ?
File
"/dar/tmp/subversion-1.1.4-0.1.1.fc2.rf-root/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
/svn/fs.py", line 28, in ?
File
"/dar/tmp/subversion-1.1.4-0.1.1.fc2.rf-root/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
/libsvn/fs.py", line 4, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0: undefined symbol: db_create[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>>[/color][/color][/color]
------------------------------------------------------------

the undefined symbol is obviously a deal breaker!!!

so, i'm trying to figure out what's going wrong...

i'm not sure if this is a python/svn error...

i'm on fedora core 2,
viewcvs from sourceforge.cvs
subversion-1.1.4-0.1.1.fc2 from dag repos (devel/perl)
db4-4.2.52-6

google turned up a few instances of this, but no solution.. any ideas as to
what's occuring...

thanks

This looks like a problem when Subversion was built: this library was
not linked against the Berkeley DB libraries.

You can check what's linked using ldd, and see the unresolved symbols
with ldd -r. For instance, on my AMD64 Debian system,

$ ldd -r /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0
libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0 (0x0000002a9569 6000)

If it doesn't look like that, then I'd say your Subversion package was
built badly. You may also want to run ldd on your svn binary, to see what
libraries it pulls in.
