I am attempting to install git, including the ability to access subversion repositories on a Linux machine. I do not have root access on the machine, so I prepended my PATH with a folder in my home directory. Installing Git worked just fine, but when I try to clone a subversion repository, I get: $ git svn clone file:///svn --prefix=svn/ --no-metadata --trunk=dba/trunk --branches=dba/branches --tags=dba/tags dba Initialized empty Git repository in /home/kelleran/Documents/togit/converted/dba/.git/ Can't locate SVN/Core.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /homedirs/kelleran/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /homedirs/kelleran/local/libexec/git-core/git-svn line 41. Google suggested that the above error could be due to missing perl bindings. So, I installed swig, and followed the instructions for installing the perl bindings: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL (I used the alternate build steps, since I had to set the prefix). Unfortunately, I still get exactly the same error. So, I looked to see whether or not the missing library was installed: $ find ~/local -iname Core.pm /homedirs/kelleran/local/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/SVN/Core.pm So, the module does exist, but not in a location included by @INC. This sounds like a simple misconfiguration during the installation on my part, but after reading the manuals and searching the web, I was unable to find a parameter that gets git to be able to see the perl bindings. I'm guessing I need either more sleep or a fresh point of view. Any thoughts? The machine is running Linux 2.6.32 64-bit, and has perl 5.8.8. Of the software I installed, I am using: libpcre 8.21 swig 2.8.4 neon 0.29.6 apr 1.3.x apr-util 1.3.x subversion 1.7.2 git 1.7.9 Thanks, Andrew Keller -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
