no svnjavahl in java.library.path
java.library.path = .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

any ideas?

A more general answer is found on the subclipse website:

This answer tells you how to fix it for all major operating systems.

Answer 2

Subversion Native Library Not Available

Answer 3

Following an update to subclipse, I got that error on Ubuntu 9.10. In order to fix it, i had to adjust the path in the config.ini file.

First, locate your libsvjavahl-1 library :

sudo updatedb
locate libsvnjavahl-1

Mine was under /usr/local/lib

Then edit the path in the config.ini. You have to pass the libsvnjavahl-1 path to the JVM.

Locate eclipse.ini and edit the path and add, UNDER the line : -vmargs

-Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib

Answer 5

I received a similar error on Windows 64-bit when adding a repository location. My fix was to install SlikSVN.

I still had the error up in Eclipse while I installed SlikSVN. Once it was done I closed the message in Eclipse, and it successfully finished adding the repository location; I didn't even have to retry adding it or restart Eclipse.
