Am running the following Netbeans 6.0 build: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200703280911) 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87 Mac OS X version 10.4.9 running on i386 en_US (nb); MacRoman When I try to do anything subversion related (like checkout a project), I keep getting the "SVN Command Failed" dialog telling me that subversion 1.3 or higher must be installed on my system. I have the following version installed svn, version 1.4.3 (r23084) compiled Apr 23 2007, 21:31:41 which should meet the requirement. Additionally, svn is on my path but Netbeans doesn't seem to recognize it. I've also manually specified the location of the svn client using the input provided in the dialog. I'm on a Mac and that location is /sw/bin/svn I've restarted many times after setting this value, so that's not the issue. Let me know if I can provide further info, thanks for you help.
if nothing else, we should at least change the text in the dialog, i guess. how did you specify the path? like /sw/bin/svn or /sw/bin the given value is interpreted as the path to the executable, so if svn in /sw/bin/svn is already the binary, then the correct value would be /sw/bin
Please make sure that svn executable is set correctly ( "Tools | Options -> Miscellaneous -> Subversion -> SVN executable path:") Also don't forget to restart IDE.
tstupka - thanks for the feedback, changing the path to NOT include the svn executable itself solved the problem. (I originally entered /sw/bin/svn, changing to /sw/bin did the trick.) Please do consider changing the language in the dialog (as you mentioned) - it asks for the path to the executable, which is svn. The dialog also implies that if svn is already on your path, Netbeans should pick it up automatically. In this case, it did not. (This seems like a bug to me - was it supposed to find svn?) The fact that it didn't implies that it needs the full path since it couldn't find the executable in the base directory on my path.
