I installed Subversion 1.5 using MacPorts (with the Porticus front-end), which places libraries in /opt/local/lib by default. Xcode 3.1.1 supports Subversion 1.5, but it only looks in /usr/lib, so even though I have Subversion 1.5 installed, it claims my working copies are incompatible. How did I fix this?
- sudo -s
- cd /usr/lib
- tar cvf oldapr+svnlib.tar libapr* libsvn*
- bzip2 oldapr+svnlib.tar
- rm libapr* libsvn*
- cd /opt/local/lib
- for NAME in libapr*.dylib; do ln -s /opt/local/lib/$NAME /usr/lib/$NAME; done
- for NAME in libsvn*.dylib; do ln -s /opt/local/lib/$NAME /usr/lib/$NAME; done
- exit
Lines 3-4 generate a backup archive. In case something goes wrong, you can delete the libapr* and libsvn* files from /usr/lib and unpack oldapr+svnlib.tar.bz2 to go back to the way things were.
Line 5 removes the existing subversion libraries and lines 6-8 put symlinks in /usr/lib that point to /opt/local/lib. Note that the set of libraries may not match exactly. (In my case, some libraries for Python and Ruby bindings didn’t appear in /opt/local/lib.) However, I figure it’s better to keep the set consistent than to piece together possibly incompatible parts.
