Installing Subversion

Here are the steps for getting Subversion 1.4 installed, along with the Ruby bindings if you need them.
Be sure to visit the Subversion website to check the latest version number. As of this writing it is 1.4.6, so you might need to make slight adjustments to the steps outline here.


yum remove subversion subversion-devel

wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.6.tar.bz2
tar xvjf subversion-*
cd subversion-*

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

# Ruby bindings
sudo make install-swig-rb
# should return true if Ruby bindings are setup correctly:
ruby -e 'puts require("svn/core")'
