Re: checkout fails due to missing temp dir

Thanks, Kenneth. I could have even hit on it on my own ;). So i did what you suggested, and I found the error message here:

subversion\libsvn_subr\.svn\text-base\io.c (line 619)

Its inside the small function svn_io_temp_dir:

svn_error_t *
svn_io_temp_dir(const char **dir,
                apr_pool_t *pool)
{
  apr_status_t apr_err = apr_temp_dir_get(dir, pool);

  if (apr_err)
    return svn_error_wrap_apr(apr_err, _("Can't find a temporary directory"));

  *dir = svn_path_canonicalize(*dir, pool);

  return svn_path_cstring_to_utf8(dir, *dir, pool);
}

So the error appears at the call of apr_temp_dir_get what is a function of the apr. I already suspected APR as reason of the error, grrr.

First question: Is SVN incorrectly configured to APR? I think 'make' should have failed, if that function ist unknown...

The function code is below, second question is if there is a possibility to get the error message of the APR function - is it logged anywhere? I am a linux novice and have problems to see through the logging mechanisms... ;)

APR_DECLARE(apr_status_t) apr_temp_dir_get(const char **temp_dir,
                                           apr_pool_t *p)
{
    apr_status_t apr_err;
    const char *try_dirs[] = { "/tmp", "/usr/tmp", "/var/tmp" };
    const char *try_envs[] = { "TMP", "TEMP", "TMPDIR" };
    const char *dir;
    char *cwd;
    int i;

    /* Our goal is to find a temporary directory suitable for writing

       2.2's tempfile.py module. */

    /* Try the environment first. */
    for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(try_envs) / sizeof(const char *)); i++) {
        char *value;
        apr_err = apr_env_get(&value, try_envs[i], p);
        if ((apr_err == APR_SUCCESS) && value) {
            apr_size_t len = strlen(value);
            if (len && (len < APR_PATH_MAX) && test_tempdir(value, p)) {
                dir = value;
                goto end;
            }
        }
    }

    /* Next, try a set of hard-coded paths. */
    for (i = 0; i < (sizeof(try_dirs) / sizeof(const char *)); i++) {
        if (test_tempdir(try_dirs[i], p)) {
            dir = try_dirs[i];
            goto end;
        }
    }
    
    /* Finally, try the current working directory. */
    if (APR_SUCCESS == apr_filepath_get(&cwd, APR_FILEPATH_NATIVE, p)) {
        if (test_tempdir(cwd, p)) {
            dir = cwd;
        goto end;
        }
    }

    /* We didn't find a suitable temp dir anywhere */
    return APR_EGENERAL;

end:
    *temp_dir = apr_pstrdup(p, dir);
    return APR_SUCCESS;

I recommend grepping the sources for the error message, then looking around
it in the source to see what the logic there might be complaining about.
(My editor, Lugaru Epsilon, can grep an entire directory tree of source,
which makes it easy to find this kind of thing.)
