Installing subversion at pair
Here are the steps I followed to install a local copy of subversion on a shared hosting account at pair.com. You should use the latest release of subversion, which you can link to from here. At the time of this writing, that was 1.3.0.
user@machine% mkdir src
user@machine% cd src
user@machine% wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.3.0.tar.gz
user@machine% tar -xzvf subversion-1.3.0.tar.gz
user@machine% cd subversion-1.3.0
user@machine% ./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl
user@machine% make
user@machine% make install
You will want to make sure that $HOME/bin is part of your PATH, too. You may need to run
user@machine% rehash
to get your shell session to see svn.
That’s it! May your commits be prodigious and your updates clean…

Did you happen to document the steps you took on the client end as well as what command line you used to start the svn server? I assume you are using svnserve since you are on pair.com. I’ve installed svn from your instructions which work great, but now I’m having trouble connecting from my client on my Mac.

Thanks for the info – Just an FYI, the latest Subversion v1.4.0 isn’t getting past the ./configure script – getting this error:
…
checking for linking Python libraries…
checking for apr_int64_t Python/C API format string…
configure: error: failed to recognize APR_INT64_T_FMT on this platform
I am able to build and use v1.3.2 just fine. Thanks again!

Dude, this worked for me on blue host

Tracy: These steps are for the client end. AFAIK, you can’t run a svn server on pair, unfortunately. I use a textdrive.com account to run my SVN server. They make it pretty easy.

[…] I’ve just started to use Capistrano to deploy my non-rails sites and ran into a bit of trouble. My web host for these sites is pair.com, and I’d already installed the subversion client there. […]

Hi,
I’m hosting my website with Bluehost and I’m trying to set up Subversion. I have apply the set of instructions above and also I have already apr, apr_util, and neon install but when running “make” is giving me the following symbol read problem:
l -lpthread -ldl -lz
/usr/lib/libexpat.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la] Error 1
I’ll really appreciate any help from you guys.

How can I use authz to have user-level access to my repo?
