From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/312.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312 Description of problem: After running: sudo apt-get install subversion The program is installed. The svnadmin program works correctly. However, any command passed to the svn client produces the following error: :~/ svn checkout svn: relocation error: /usr/lib/libneon.so.24: undefined symbol: GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subversion-0.32.1-1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo apt-get install subversion 2. svn checkout Actual Results: svn: relocation error: /usr/lib/libneon.so.24: undefined symbol: GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE Expected Results: checkout (co): Check out a working copy from a repository. usage: checkout URL...

Building the subversion client from source works correctly when passed ./configure --with-ssl, but this means that the build is using its own internal sources for neon.
Have you tried installing when logged in directly as root? I don't know if sudo might have anything to do with the problem, but it's worth checking.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not include a subversion package. I'd suggest you try a more recent third-party package, for example, http://dag.wieers.com/packages/subversion/, or upgrade to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, which does include a subversion package.

I'm confused. If Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 does not have a subversion package, why does it install? Further, why would the svnadmin program work, but the svn program fail?
It will install if you have some third-party APT repository in your apt configuration. (Note that RHEL3 does not include apt!). Please contact Red Hat support if you're having trouble working out which packages are included in RHEL and which aren't. (The package you have doesn't work because it was built against MIT libraries which are newer than those included in RHEL3, FYI)

But apt-cache show subversion shows the following: Package: subversion Section: Development/Tools Installed Size: 3069 Maintainer: Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> Version: 0.32.1-5 Architecture: i386 Size: 1074040 MD5Sum: 3e65c8863d12a8290465c34c9cff8c86 Filename: subversion-0.32.1-5.i386.rpm Package: subversion Section: Development/Tools Installed Size: 3068 Maintainer: Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> Version: 0.32.1-1 Architecture: i386 Size: 1073582 MD5Sum: dbbfc48903a573554ccb820dccadbf9a Filename: subversion-0.32.1-1.i386.rpm Which indicates that Red Hat is the package maintainer for this package. If Red Hat is not the maintainer for this package, then who is?
Oh, this is a package from Fedora Core, then. All comments above still apply: this package will not work on RHEL3; subversion is not included or supported in RHEL3. You can either upgrade to RHEL4 or obtain a third-party subversion package which was built for RHEL3 to get this working.
