In the URL supplied by the user, it seems clear that the host is meant to be "ada-srp", the path is "/kr/svn/trunk/ kr_repos" and the scheme is "http:" so I don't see the problem.

Well, it's 21 months old. That *is* kind of old. There have been seven releases of neon since then.

However, I'm unable to reproduce the issue on Mac OS X 10.6.3, using Subversion 1.6.11 and Neon 0.29.3, Subversion 1.6.11 and Neon 0.28.3, or Subversion 1.6.5 and Neon 0.28.3.

I searched for this error message on Google and found many posts. This one seemed possibly relevant:

It suggests that a second copy of some library (neon? subversion?) somewhere else on your system, and referenced by LD_LIBRARY_PATH, could be throwing off the version of svn you're actually trying to use. Could that be? If not, search Google and see if any of the other hits seem relevant.
