Even thought the newer tools may be installed, when you specify only "svn" in Terminal, it uses the first matching executable it finds, which is /usr/bin/svn on Leopard. If you want to use a newer version on Leopard, the simplest way is to specify the full path to the executable (/opt/subversion/bin/svn) or modify your $PATH variable to put /opt/subversion/bin at the front of your path:

export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH

If you want this to happen automatically each time you open a Terminal window, put that line in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile file.

This approach will affect anything that uses the binary, but other tools (like Xcode) that use the SVN libraries in /usr/lib will require more drastic changes. If you can (not on PPC), upgrade to Snow Leopard — it has SVN 1.6.2 built-in.

Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade my command line tools to version 1.6.5 under OSX
but even after I install the Collabnet binaries for 1.6.5 from
http://svnbinaries.open.collab.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=164
Versions still reports that I have commandline tools 1.4.4

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
