I have Ubuntu Linux 10.4 installed on my notebook computer named Lenny.
I have the same system installed on my desktop computer named Athol (I
had a lot of trouble getting that hardware to work). I have installed
the Ubuntu Subversion packages on each; namely
subversion
libapache2-svn
libgirepository-1.0-1
In both cases the SVNParentPath is /data/svn and that directory is owned
by www-data:
* drwxr-xr-x 5 www-data www-data 4096 2011-07-22 09:16 /data/svn*
Here is the critical command:
* sudo -u www-data svnadmin create /data/svn/boofar*
On Lenny the command works, silently. On Athol I get this message:
* svnadmin: error while loading shared libraries: libsvn_repos-1.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory*
Apparently svnadmin cannot find something, but I don't know what it
can't find. In both cases /usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.1 is a symoblic
link to:
* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 153700 2011-06-05 22:48
/usr/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.1.0.0*
I Googled for that error message and somebody had a problem with the
home directory locations. The implication was that for some reason a
Subversion distribution hard-codes the name of the home directory parent
path (e.g. "/home"). No problem with my home directories; the
arrangement is identical. On both machines my home directory is
/data/andy and /home/andy is a symbolic link to /data/andy.
So any idea why svnadmin runs OK on one machine and fails on the other?
