JavaHL install instructions for CentOS

[Bob Whiteman]

I'd like to suggest a change to the wiki page at http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL I would've done it myself, but I don't appear to have permission to do so.


Now, I'm no subclipse expert, nor a linux expert. That "Failed to load JavaHL Library" error led me to the wiki page on JavaHL. That led me to try sudo apt-get install libsvn-java, which of course failed because CentOS doesn't usually use apt.

The wiki page leads CentOS users to http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/redhat.html which is a little hostile. You have to know which download to select, and you have to register just to download. And even then, there's no guidance on how to install it once you've downloaded.

What I just discovered is that on CentOS you can get JavaHL with a single command line: "sudo yum install subversion-javahl".

So anyone who has permission to do so, please add that to the wiki page.

Thanks,
-Bob

"sudo yum install subversion-javahl".

Is that because CentOS 6 was just released? The issue with doing this
in the past is that they only have SVN 1.4 in their yum repository.
Also, in a month or so SVN 1.7 is going to be out and it will be a
long time before that makes its way into the repository. CollabNet
will have binaries available that have been tested on CentOS
concurrent with the SVN release.
