[csw-users] about the path name

svn may be an alias. Do a
  which svn

cd /opt/csw/bin
./svn

would override any svn alias.

If you are intending on using blastwave software, then please move
/opt/csw/bin to occur before /usr/sfw/bin

And you will probably have to examine /usr/local/bin closely for links
which might otherwise override your specified order. For example even if
you have /opt/csw/bin:/usr/sfw/bin, but a link in /usr/local/bin *could*
have an gnutar which points to a gnutar in /usr/sfw/bin NOT in
/opt/csw/bin. That would be an override. That sort of think has given me
grief in the past.

That is my understanding. You could look at the permissions, owners,
groups, links associated with each step of the way to /opt/csw/bin/svn.
ls -l /
ls -l /opt
ls -l /opt/csw
ls -l /opt/csw/bin
ls -l /opt/csw/bin/svn

Look for "strange" things.

Is there something else in
