I recently installed the openCollabNet OS X Universal binary for SVN 1.5.4<\/a> from Tigris<\/a> and found something odd. I had installed the openCollabNet binary for 1.4.4 a while back, and don’t recall changing any install paths, but apparently something changed. After installing I ran svn –version and saw something that I shouldn’t have seen:<\/p>\n

Strange, I should have seen the new 1.5.4 there. So I did a bit of digging. Everything I saw about the openCollabNet binary said it installed in \/usr\/local\/bin, but when I ran which svn I saw \/usr\/bin\/svn. So I looked in \/usr\/bin and \/usr\/local\/bin. Sure enough, two installs in two different places. Not being one to do anything rash (like deleting svn from \/usr\/bin and then changing the path on all my tools that rely on it) I decided the best thing to do was fix it in a way that was reversible. So, I fired off a sudo ls (to get my password in scope in the shell) and then a simple<\/p>\n
for i in `ls \/usr\/bin\/svn*`; do mv \/usr\/bin\/$i \/usr\/bin\/$i.old && ln -sf \/usr\/local\/bin\/$i \/usr\/bin\/$i; done<\/pre>\n
Once I had fired off that command another call to svn –version revealed the fix:<\/p>\n

I am still a little confused as to how 1.4.4 ended up in \/usr\/bin while 1.5.4 went to \/usr\/local\/bin (where it is expected to go from the openCollabNet binary installer). I wondered, did I change the install path at some point in the install? Somehow I doubt it, as that is not a change I would be likely to make. Just another little mystery for the unsolved cases file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
