Make sure you’re running a recent release of NetBeans from [http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/](http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/). I’m using 4514 this morning. Beta 1 is obsolete, you definitely don’t want to to be running it. Did you set the path in Tools \> Options \> Misc \> Versioning \> Subversion? Mine is set to: Specify the SVN home folder: C:\subversion\bin And I have subversion installed in c:\subversion. Notice that netbeans says it wants the home folder, but really what it wants is the folder containing the svn binaries. (FYI, you’re probably better off asking NetBeans questions on the NetBeans Ruby users list: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid) James M. | removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Ruby and Ruby on Rails consulting [blog.restphone.com](http://blog.restphone.com) ---

Yes its easy to do… Having a tigris ui is really easy way… However i’ve installed NetBeans 6.0 and its "unintegrable: with svn, while working on windows. It just not see svn files, (svn running fine in command promt, with PATH set)… does someone saw solution ?
