I'm running version 1.1.3.12730 of subversion on the server.

I just tried and I get the same result in both cases.

I don't use WebSVN so I guess thi doesn't apply?

I just checked this variable - and guess what - it wasn't set!
I pointed it to my Apache2 iconv folder and now the commandline
svnlook log <repo> -r <revision> works just fine!
I'll try committing something to verify that the whole chain works.

Thanks a bunch for your help!

Best regards,
Johan
