SVN using wrong sqlite version

Question

when running my svn from /usr/local/bin/ it says:

svn: E200029: Couldn't perform atomic initialization svn: E200030: SQLite compiled for 3.7.13, but running with 3.6.12

sqlite3 --version gives me 3.7.13

What went wrong and how can I fix it? I'm on Mac OS X (10.6.8).

//edit1:

/usr/local/bin/sqlite3 --version 3.7.13

/usr/bin/sqlite3 --version 3.7.13

//edit2: I "fixed" this by installing svn via homebrew and using /usr/local/bin/svn explicitly

Let me sum up the fixes and suggestion from the answers below:

(please upvote the corresponding answer)

For Mac users:

• (re-)install svn via homebrew or whatever you use (you may need to brew link --force sqlite3)

For Fedora users:

• try yum update sqlite3 or yum install sqlite

Answer 1

I experienced the same issue, I solved downloading http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.7.6.3.tar.gz, unpacking the archive using tar/gunzip and coping sqlite3.c from the resulting directory into $svn-src-folder/sqlite-amalgamation/sqlite3.c.

Run configure/make/sudo make install and you should solve.

I had brew, svn 1.8, working fine in OSX 10.8.

I upgraded to 10.9, broke. For some reason the symlinks brew makes in /usr/local/bin were removed by the 10.9 installation?

brew update didnt fix.

brew install svn fixed svn, or so I thought. Then actually using svn 1.8 (/usr/local/bin first in my path) I also had the above sqlite error message. A newer sqlite being in /usr/local/Cellar, but not symlinked in /usr/local/bin or anything.

brew install sqlite3 ... didnt fix it. And I noticed brew says for this component it doesnt symlink. ok.

BUT, after that reinstall, a further reinstall of svn brew svn uninstall brew svn install

DID fix it. dont know why. Now can svn co successfully.

After re-linking subversion, I had also to re-link sqlite3

brew link --force sqlite3
