SVN won't run on brand new Mac OSX install

Question

I have a brand new install of Mac OS 10.7.2. I have installed SVN on it, however, when I try to invoke Subversion, I get the error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/subversion/bin/svn
  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
    /usr/lib/libpq.5.dylib: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

I have tried searching for the error, and it looks like that library is used primarily by PostreSQL (which I also have installed), but that is running fine. I am a little confused as to why SVN would be trying to call this library, and furthermore why it fails.

Various user groups online state that the solution is to create a symbolic link to the 'real' PostgreSQL install, but I have done that. (See also: subclipse) I have reinstalled SVN and PostgreSQL twice now with no errors. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Turns out that although my PostgreSQL is using version 5.2, SVN depends on 5.3. So if anyone runs into this problem, note that you CANNOT simply create a symbolic link to your PostgreSQL dylib, it has to be the 5.3 that comes with the install.

ie

ln -s libpq.5.3.dylib libpq.5.dylib
