Hmmm. I figured I might have to match the repository, but I'm getting the error without ever even trying to connect to anything (svn help). Which leads me to think there's some kind of program config problem I need to deal with before even trying to connect to a repo.

SVN. In the middle of my eval tests, SVN was upgraded resulting in my
TortoiseSVN client being a newer than my command line tools. I
used the command line tools to create my repositories but planned to provide the
users with TortoiseSVN. When I used the newer TortoiseSVN it changed
the repository format so that the command line client could no longer access
files. Same kind of errors you are seeing. This feature caused so
much trouble that I was forced to ClearCase, yuck.</font></span></div>

version<br></font><br></div><div><span class="q" id="q_110cc09a8e42e88d_1">
<div></div>I'm on a shared host that uses version 1.3.2 of Subversion, and I
recently compiled and installed a local copy of version 1.4.3. <br><br>Now
when I try to run any svn commands, I get a message about mismatched RA
versions. <br><br>$ svn help<br>svn: Mismatched RA version for 'dav': found
1.4.3, expected 1.3.2<br>$ svn co http://{my_repo}<br>svn: Mismatched RA
version for 'http': found 1.4.3, expected 1.3.2<br><br><br>Some googling
showed that these errors happen when there's bits of old installs leftover
from an upgrade. Of course, in my case, the old version is still on the
system. I get these even if I directly run the new binary (as opposed to
trusting my $PATH). <br><br>Has anybody dealt with this before? Any words of
advice on how to proceed? I'm afraid I hosed SVN. :-(
