Installing the subversion bindings takes about 5 minutes. You can check out the video above and follow along with the article below.

Installing the Ruby Subversion Bindings

  1. Get and install the latest SWIG

    You can ftp this to your server, or use a tool like wget or curl. 

    wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/swig/swig-1.3.31.tar.gz
tar xzvf swig-1.3.31.tar.gz
cd ./swig-1.3.31
./configure
make
sudo make install

  2. Install the latest version of Subversion

    NOTE: You do not have to rebuild Subversion if you choose not too, but you will need the Subversion source code corresponding to your server's svn version in order to install the Ruby bindings.

    Again, you can ftp this to your server or use wget or curl. 

    wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf subversion-1.4.4.tar.gz
cd subversion-1.4.4

    You can skip the following block of code if you do not wish to build subversion. 

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-openssl --with-ssl --with-zlib
make 
sudo make install

    Now, install the Ruby subversion bindings 

    make swig-rb
sudo make install-swig-rb

  3. See if it works!

    Run this command from your console:

    ruby -e 'puts require("svn/core")'
