Hi!

This mail gives a short recap of my experiences in getting subversive +
the native javahl connector to run on my ubuntu 8.10 desktop. (I'm well
aware there is a SVNKit connector also...)

I'm not quite sure if this is the right place/list to post this, but
it's not (yet) running completly smooth, so it think defects fits the
most...



1. Using the software update mananger (and adding the polarion update
source) i managed to install:

- - "Subversive Team Provider" (Version: 0.7.3.20080814-1500)

and the needed connectors:

- - "Subversive SVN Connectors" (Version: 2.0.4.l20081001-1)
- - "Subversive SVN 1.4 JavaHL Connector" (Version: 2.0.4.l20081001-1)

2. I installed the ubuntu package supplying the native libs:

- - "libsvn-java" (Version: 1.5.1dfsg1-1ubuntu2)

3. I set java.library.path to /usr/lib/jni in eclipse.ini.

4. On starting eclipse and checking under prefs->team->svn-connectors I
see an error msg as was posted in a thread some time ago in the old
polarion forums [1]:

"0x00100000: Cannot load libraries: javahl.SVNClient"

5. I solved this issue by unpacking the jar:

"org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector.javahl_2.0.4.I20081001-1900"

and replacing lib/svnjavahl.jar with the one supplied by the ubuntu
package (/usr/share/java/svn-javahl.jar).



Now this setup seems to work, but not completely stable as I sometimes
eclipse will quit with the following error msg:

eclipse: ath.c:186: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock ==
((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed.
Aborted

A quick google search revealed that this is probably connected to
libgcrypt...


So my questions are:

- - Am i doing something terribly wrong/Am i not seeing something
completely obvious? *g*

- - Is there a remedy? If not, is one planned?



Ciao,
 Sven
