RE: [viewvc-users] python issue with viewvc

That was the problem.  I didn't install it specifically, but discovered it's part of the development tools package group.  I then started having other python errors 'no such module svn' and created a search path in site-packages folder and now viewvc can browse.

The "expected format 2" error is only generated by Subversion 1.4's libraries, so I don't mean to be argumentative, but somewhere on your system you have old Subversion libs installed.  It might be via a stock CentOS package in /usr/lib; it might be elsewhere.  But Subversion 1.6.11 is not the only Subversion on that machine.

As I said, this is a new box with new subversion installation of 1.6.11.  Others were saying they installed both versions which caused their problem - I don't have multiple versions on this new box.

You'll want to visit [email protected] for help about this general problem.  Once you get Subversion and its Python bindings behaving as expected, ViewVC should start working as well.
