Greetings. i'm a midrange specialist(ibm iseries) and because i'm the only non-microsoft person in the office, i was given the task of making subversion send an e-mail when a commit occurs. I have been working with linux for less than 3 days (and I'm really liking it!) - My apologies that I don't understand enough about this to even be able to choose the correct forum 'flavor' for this thread

So far, here's what i CAN tell you:

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 sp2
python -V returns a value of Python 2.4.2
Subversion version is 1.6

Running the post-commit causes this message:
Import Error - You need version 1.5.0 or better of the Subversion Python bindings.

I've read a lot about PYTHONPATH, and 'export PYTHONPATH', etc, but the answers assume a level of knowledge i don't have. what I DO have is a deadline.
ANY guidance you can give me would be most appreciated!
