I downloaded the subversion installer in the “Community Binaries” at collabnet:
http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion#tab-3. When I try to install it, I go through Introduction, Read Me, and License. When I get to Destination Select, “Install for all users of this computer” is greyed out. I can not proceed during this point. Does anyone know why?

    Mountain Lion does have Subversion version 1.6.18 available from Apple. However, it’s a bit convoluted to get it:

    • Download Xcode from the Mac OS X App Store (Free program)
    • Select the Menu item Xcode->Preferences…
    • Select the “Downloads” section.
    • Choose Command Line Tools and click on the Install button.

    After that, the Subversion command line client will be available. The svnserve server is also included. Unfortunately, the mod_dav.so and mod_dav_svn.so files needed for running Subversion server via Apache https are no longer included. I think they might be included in Mac OS X Server, but that’s a $20 purchase.

    Hope this helps. It’s not version 1.7.x, but it’s much easier to get working than the old community binary version which I don’t believe works in Mountain Lion (and is also version 1.6.18)
