I'm trying to get Subversion working under Eclipse 3.7 in a 64 bit Kubuntu 11.10 but having problems. I've installed subclipse 1.8.1, installed 'libsvn-java' and have added -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/ under the -vmargs in the /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini file, but now getting the error message:

Incompatible JavaHL library loaded.  1.7.x or later required.

and can't seem to find out how to upgrade my JavaHL. I've reinstalled the subclipse plugin, which apparently also installs JavaHL version 1.7.1, so perhaps this isn't a case of JavaHL not being installed, but perhaps unfindable? - Anyone with any ideas?

** EDIT **

As mentioned below the links provided in the accepted answer have stopped working, but you can download updated files here (credit to Rekhyt) but you will need subclipse version 1.8.x which you can install by adding http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x to Eclipse

I installed subclipse 1.8 first then installed these files in order:

  1. libsvn-java_1.7.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1_amd64.deb
  2. subversion_1.7.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1_amd64.deb
  3. libsvn1_1.7.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1_amd64.deb

If you need 32 bit go to the launchpad page and click the 'subversion - 1.7.2-0ubuntu0~ppa1' link at the bottom of the page - this will bring up all the relevant files

  • [This source](http://steveliles.github.com/subversion_1_7_eclipse_integration_in_ubuntu_12.html) points out that the path to be entered in the eclipse.ini changed for Ubuntu 12.10. It's now `-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/` – Rekhyt Mar 22 '13 at 12:03

Alternatively, you may do the following, which automates the package installation:

apt-add-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

  • This is the best solution to the problem. Thanks Anon & Piotr. – Shreeni Apr 17 '12 at 03:32
  • I am on Mint 12 and this is what worked for me. I downloaded the packages mentioned in the accepted answer and kept getting errors saying they weren't deb packages. – Jeshurun Apr 22 '12 at 09:14
  • All you need is `sudo apt-get install libsvn-java` and update `java.library.path` to `/usr/lib/jni`. Follow instructions in http://islandlinux.org/howto/installing-javahl-subclipseeclipse-ubuntu. – adarshr Aug 31 '12 at 11:56

Because of that

First of all I had to uninstall the old packages before installing the new ones (thanks to Sergi)

for i386

  1. go to here
  2. install in order geb packages
  3. libsvn1_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_i386.deb (979.2 KiB)
  4. subversion_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_i386.deb (1.2 MiB)
  5. libsvn-java_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_i386.deb

for amd64

  1. go to here
  2. install in order geb packages
  3. libsvn1_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_amd64.deb (1.0 MiB)
  4. subversion_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_amd64.deb (1.2 MiB)
  5. libsvn-java_1.7.1-0ubuntu0~ppa4_amd64.deb (446.7 KiB)

it worked for me.

  • Apologies - should have stated that this is for a 64 bit machine, can you change your answer to reflect, if possible? Also, can you explain a bit more, I'm not quite sure I understand your points - am I suppose to install everything from that page, or just the deb packages listed 3-5 in your answer? – Martyn Oct 25 '11 at 10:18

    It worked for me too. Just note that I had to uninstall the old packages before installing the new ones. – Sergi Oct 25 '11 at 14:22

    Thank you :) Like you said I used `apt-get` to remove the above packages then reinstalled them all and then reinstalled subclipse and after a reboot it's working fine. – Martyn Oct 26 '11 at 10:50
  • I tried the method above for AMD64 (although the links are no longer valid - used: https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ppa/+build/2889157 ). However, when installing libsvn I receveive the following: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libserf-private. I installed libserf-0-0-dev but can't find a way to get around this. Any ideas? – Dave Shuck Nov 10 '11 at 19:21

    Sadly those launchpad's items are not anymore available, someone can give me another place to get them, thanks. – Jean-Christophe Meillaud Nov 23 '11 at 11:43
  • @jean-christophe-meillaud version 1.7.2 is out which might be the reason for the links to be broken. as rekhyt mentioned in his answer, the mentioned packages can be found [here](https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/subversion-1.7/+packages). ubuntu releases lucid to precise are supported. – antiplex Feb 02 '12 at 16:12

    Again looks like URL has changed for AMD64 - now https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=64+build+of+subversion&field.actions.search=Search – IsaacS Mar 20 '12 at 03:36
  • Added [this](https://launchpad.net/~aroth/+archive/ppa) PPA to Synaptic, then installed the components in same order like described in the answer. Also had to create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libsvnjavahl-1.so to /usr/lib/jni/libsvnjavahl-1.so. – Ahatius Aug 07 '12 at 04:20

Sadly, I can't comment yet (or I don't understand how this site works :-)), but maybe Dave Shuck interested in it: if you change the dependencies of the .deb package, and remove the libserf-private everything works fine. Easiest to do that with this script: videbcontrol

Since I cannot comment yet and my edit has been rejected:

I stumbled across the same problem. The repositories of Xubuntu 10.11 are out of date. Packages can be found at this location. Proceed according to javaloper's posting.

Download files libserf, libaprutil, libsvn1, subversion, libsvn-java from here.

During download choose appropriate environment i.e 32bit or 64bit version.
