I had to put the following in my profile file to get it to work:

export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH

For the rest, tnx for this! Saved my day….

I ran into this problem when working on a website, upgraded svn but the problem persists. I have confirmed that the path is set correctly with “svn –version”.

This seems to have come out of nowhere. I'm the only developer working on this and I haven't messed around with different versions of svn since I originally installed it. Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

Thanks for this, it solved 99% of my problem :)

The other issue I has was my PATH was set in numerous files and .profile is checked last

export PATH=/opt/subversion:$PATH

should be

export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH

Just in addition to Paul's comment, you actually should just need to update your environment variables like so (rather than logging in/out):

source ~/.profile

cheers. :)

Hey, (for 1.6 anway) the path should be “export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH”

and you need to log out and log back in again for it to work :)

Even easier, install macports and run following command in terminal:

sudo port install subversion

After install check version has been updated with:

svn --version
