can't synchronize, no module named svn

[David Bain]

Upon creating a new project I get the following note: "Can't
synchronize with the repository (Unsupported version control system
"svn": "No module named svn" ). Look in the Trac log for more
information."

How do I ensure that my cluemapper is working properly with
subversion?

It's a trac-specific problem.

Okay... so, it seems that compiling my python 2.5 from source means that I don't have the python-subversion for python 2.5.

Assuming I'm on the right track, I'm trying to fix it by compiling subversion for my python (my python is located in /usr/local/python2.5/bin):

cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.5.5.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvfj  subversion-1.5.5.tar.bz2

cd subversion-1.5.5
sudo export PYTHON=/usr/local/python2.5/bin/python2.5
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

I think I have one step left, still reading up and googling though.

Subversion setup
===================
do the following with admin or sudo priviledges::

 cd /usr/local/src
 sudo wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.3.1.tar.bz2
 sudo tar xvfj  subversion-1.3.1.tar.bz2
 cd subversion-1.3.1
 export PYTHON=/usr/local/python2.5/bin/python2.5
 sudo ./configure --prefix=/opt

 sudo make
 sudo make install

 sudo make swig-py
 make install-swig-py

Then move the new packages to the site-packages folder of the cluemapper env::
 
 cp -r subversion-1.3.1/subversion/bindings/swig/python/svn-python/* ~cluemapper/cluemapper/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
