RE: [viewvc-users] python issue with viewvc

I did find postings related to this, but it doesn't apply because i don't have multiple versions of Subversion on this box. As I said, this is a new box with new subversion installation of 1.6.11. Others were saying they installed both versions which caused their problem - I don't have multiple versions on this new box.

These are the options I used in configuring subversion:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-swig --with-apr=/usr/bin --with-apr-util=/usr/bin

Subject: Re: [viewvc-users] python issue with viewvc

This is a classic case of Subversion's Python bindings finding, loading, and using the wrong versions of Subversion's core libraries (out of several different versions of Subversion installed at once on your server). You'll want to visit users_at_subversion.apache.org for help about this general problem. Once you get Subversion and its Python bindings behaving as expected, ViewVC should start working as well.
