Which version of G-K did you use? I'm trying to build G-K 2.28.2 which has so many dependencies, very discouraging to continue. Ah, but that's not what you asked :-) No, I didn't build it from source, I used the CentOS package manager, yum. Oh and please stop top-posting Giulio

Re: How to build GNOME Keyring for Subversion
Hi, Building KDELibs 4 for Kwallet is as embarrassing as building GNOME Keyring if not more. Even worse, KDE's installation guides are like puzzle books. I have to think about tring a binary distribution of Subversion with GNOME Keyring support. My system is the Cray Linux Environment (CLE) which is based SuSE Linux. I wonder if the openSUSE build may work on the system. Another trouble is that I don't have root access unable to do RPM installation. Is there a non-RPM binary package that I can unpack in a non-root user directory?

Gnome-keyring's dependencies are outside of the Subversion project's control. So I'm afraid we cannot do much about it. Maybe try Kwallet? It might have a smaller list of dependencies. The easiest way by far is using a distribution that offers readily working build scripts or binary packages. Most current Linux distributions and *BSD systems offer precompiled Subversion binaries with gnome-keyring support enabled. Another possibility for a long-term fix to this problem would be contributing patches to Subversion that allow Subversion to encrypt passwords using GPGme.

Thanks for all the replies. My platform is a bit special. It's a Cray supercomputer. The OS is Cray Linux Environment (CLE) which is developed based on SuSE Linux.
