Re: Not enough infer to resolve 'loaded an incompatible library'

Mark, excellent! It’s exactly how you said, though Homebrew doesn’t provide Serf as a separate package anymore and instead includes it in SVN as a private package, it was still on my machine from the original installation a long time ago. Running ‘brew remove serf’ did fix it.

Thank you!

I had a similar problem with Homebrew. In my case, SVN still worked but it was using an older version of Serf than 1.3.4. I think this is because Homebrew used to have Serf as a package and SVN used it. They then changed the packaging so that Serf is a private library of the Subversion package.

Even though Serf was no longer a package, somehow the library was still there and being picked up at runtime. I do not remember exactly how I fixed it, but I think I used something like brew clean serf or brew remove serf. Then when I rebuilt SVN again it build a new Serf 1.3.4 and used it.

Hi,

I’m trying to resolve an issue I’m having with subversion on my Mac OS 10.9.2. I installed subversion via Homebrew and it had previously worked. I can’t say for sure anymore what exactly happened, but recently this is what happened (not necessarily in exactly that order):

 1) Installed the upgrade to Mac OS 10.9.2
 2) Upgraded to Xcode 5.1 + Command Line Tools
 3) Upgraded subversion to 1.8.8

I since tried to remove subversion via ‘brew remove subversion’ and reinstalled it as follows (the error still persists though):

Then it compiles without any errors. But when I try to run svn from the command line, I get an error:

 ~: svn
svn: E200019: ra_serf was compiled for serf 1.3.4 but loaded an incompatible 1.1.1 library

How can I identify the incompatible version 1.1.1 library that is being loaded and/or how do I fix this?

Thanks,
Torsten
