Failed to load JavaHL Library

Question

After updating to Snow Lion I started receiving these errors in Flash Builder / Eclipse when trying to use SVN:

Failed to load JavaHL Library.
These are the errors that were encountered:
no libsvnjavahl-1 in java.library.path
/opt/subversion/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.0.dylib:  Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib   Referenced from: /opt/subversion/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.0.dylib   Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:  /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture  /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture
no svnjavahl in java.library.path
java.library.path = .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Select Window >> Preferences
2. Expand Team >> SVN
3. Under SVN interface set Client to SVNKit (Pure Java) SVNKit....

Answer 2

If you do not need to use JavaHL, Subclipse also provides a pure-Java SVN API library -- SVNKit (http://svnkit.com). Just install the SVNKit client adapter and library plugins from the Subclipse update site and then choose it in the preferences under Team > SVN.

Answer 3

On Kubuntu, my path to the library changed because of installing another Java version. Here's the whole picture, but in short:

sudo apt-get install libsvn-java
sudo find / -name libsvnjavahl-1.so

The output from the last command could look like this, for example:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/libsvnjavahl-1.so

This gives you the path, so you can add the following to your eclipse.ini:

-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/
