repository initialization error

[groome@…]

When creating a new repository & Trac Project the following error occurs:

Failed to initialize environment. ("Expected version '3' of repository; found version '5'", 165005)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Looks like you created the repo with svn 1.4.0, but the bindings are older. Can you check and try to update the Subversion bindings?

See TracSubversion for additional troubleshooting information.

I am having exactly the same issue. Tried for SVN dir: $ make swig-py $ make install-swig-py. Is there something else to be to ensure the bindings are current?

[Christian Boos]

Yes, make sure they are in your python path, i.e.

$ python
...
>>> from svn import core
>>> (core.SVN_VER_MAJOR, core.SVN_VER_MINOR, core.SVN_VER_MICRO)
(1, 4, 0)

[av@…]

OK, I think you hit on something here, but I'm kinda ignorant: —-

from svn import core (core.SVN_VER_MAJOR, core.SVN_VER_MINOR, core.SVN_VER_MICRO)

(1, 1, 4) —- So I've got a problem, but *how* do I make sure they are in my python path?

Thanks in advance.

Look at the last bullet point in ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion#BuildingSubversion

Can someone update on how to solve the issue?

[Christian Boos]

In addition to all that already been said in this ticket (please make sure you've read all of the answers above), see: TracSubversion#Checklist. By following the tips there, you'll discover which bindings are currently in use and therefore what should be replaced by the correct version of the bindings.

So for all us rookies out there… how do you go about fixing this problem exactly. I have tried to follow the comments and perform the steps but I am having no luck. How do I change the PYTHONPATH? I know what version of svnserve I am running and by using the python commands in the checklist I know that my bindings are incorrect. I tried to recompile and install them but I did not have any luck. I think I just need to change the PYTHONPATH to point to svn-python but I don't know how and I don't know where it is.

[Christian Boos]

See TracSubversion#BuildingSubversion.

Replying to cboos:

See TracSubversion#BuildingSubversion.

If I do:

#export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/svn-python

Then this happens when I run this:

# python
Python 2.4.4c1 (#2, Oct 11 2006, 20:00:03)

Now What? I compiled everything per the directions from TracSubversion and the INSTALL file located in the bindings directory.

Versions:
svn version 1.4.3
tracd 0.10.4
SWIG Version 1.3.31
svn-python were compiled from svn 1.4.3 source

In my case I created the repository in a newer version of SVN, via VisualSVN. Repository was using 1.5.x, Trac 10.5 used 1.4.6. I simply installed an older version of VisualSVN and created the repository with that, and all was happy.
