Hey guys, I'm trying to run subversion as the svnserve daemon, it was working fine until a day or two ago i restarted the init script and now it wont start. The only problem is that its not outputting any error messages so far as I can tell. here's some stuff to help you guys help me.

/etc/conf.d/svnserve
Code:

# The commented variables in this file are the defaults that are used
# in the init-script.  You don't need to uncomment them except to
# customize them to different values.

# Options for svnserve
SVNSERVE_OPTS="--root=/var/svn"

# User and group as which to run svnserve
SVNSERVE_USER="svnuser"
SVNSERVE_GROUP="svnusers"


after running '/etc/init.d/svnserve start' all i get is the double !! in red, with no errors i can find, here's 'tail messages'

Code:

Aug 16 10:30:01 tools cron[19270]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Aug 16 10:40:01 tools cron[19282]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Aug 16 10:50:01 tools cron[19294]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )

Aug 16 11:40:01 tools cron[19681]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )
Aug 16 11:40:18 tools cron[19786]: (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)


just me messing around with vixie-cron.

Any ideas on where else I should look?

A little browsing of the forums led me to run this command,

Code:

svnserve --daemon --foreground --root=/var/svn


and my returned error was

Code:

svnserve: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Where should it be and where can I get it from?

Congrats, you've been hit by the dreaded expat-2 update. you have to re-emerge subversion (and probably other things with revdep-rebuild). There's a note about it in the expat ebuild, and several other in the forums.

Yea, i looked into that expat error a little more and ran across this posting https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-575655.html

solved my issue entirely. subversion even seems to run faster now than it did before... maybe thats just me though ;)
