i posted the problem on svnforum.org, but there have been no responses (and it's been a couple of days. as far as providing a bit of new information: i recall that after talking to someone on irc, i specifically compiled svn without berkdb support (it is possible). my other projects in the repository don't appear to be working through berkeley db, however this one has binary files that appear to be from berkeley db... i vaguely recall that i had originally set up svn on my laptop, and that i then transferred it over to my desktop. i don't remember if i had set it up without berkeley db support on my laptop though, so it's possible that i might've done something really strange and somehow gotten my website set up under berkeley db, and caused this... i just thought of something... would it be possible for me to install subversion (with berkdb support) on my laptop, and bring the files back over here, and then use that to pull these files out, and then uninstall it, and get it set up without berkdb again? or is there an easier way? i'd just like my website back :) > > Corey > > .===================================. > | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | > | Don't Fear the Penguin. | > | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | > `===================================' -- Erin Sharmahd [EMAIL PROTECTED] CS Student Unix Users Group PGP Fingerprint: F352 FF41 EA0A 67E4 566B 3B5B E65A D3DC 083E 9336
