 Other reason could be that your SVN vendor uses non-standard names for library files, f.i. SlikSVN appends `sliksvn-` prefix to all library file names, if this is the case in your environment, you will need to set "LibSVN vendor" in "Prefences -> SVN". Currently only SlikSVN is supported, if you encounter other vendor with this strange habit, please create a [ticket](/p/subtile/tickets/) containing vendor URL and prefixes / suffixes used.
 * **Q**: Why does SubTile show *"...cannot create tunnel..."* or *"...non-existent in revision..."* error when I try to navigate through a repository?
 **A**: You are accessing the repository via "svn" or "svn+ssh" protocol, this may work but it requires fully compatible Subverion installation on client and server. Try to use command line SVN client from the same setup SubTile runs against and see if you can access repository URL in question - most likely it wouldn't work either. The only fix for it (if you have no administrative access to server) is installation of different SVN client libraries, better though try to use "https" protocol.
-* **Q**: I'm trying to browse a working copy or check out new one but ony see error message *"Couldn't perform atomic initialization ... caused by ... SQLite compiled for xxx, but running with xxx"*. What a heck is that?
-**A**: The reason is that the SQLite library used by your XULRunner is incompatible with the one required by Subversion. There are 2 possible solution for this problem: either try to find and install newer XULRunner or - if you have recent version of Firefox installed - smuggle Firefox's SQLite library into XULRunner setup; on UNIX do `mv /usr/lib/xulrunner/libmozsqlite3.so /usr/lib/xulrunner/libmozsqlite3.so.orig; ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libmozsqlite3.so /usr/lib/xulrunner/libmozsqlite3.so`, on Windows copy `sqlite3.dll` from Firefox to XULRunner installation directory.

 SubTile Frequently Asked Questions
 ==================================
-1. **Q**: I receive "Cannot initialize SVN" error message on SubTile startup, althogh I'm sure Subversion is installed. How do I fix it?
-**A**: Most likely SVN libs are not on PATH. You can either add the SVN location (where `libsvn_client` lives) to your PATH environment variable manually or in SubTile open "Prefences -> SVN" and specify path to SVN in field "LibSVN installation path".
