It looks like the bzr-svn plugin is loading subvertpy, which is then
trying to load libsvn_client-1.0 and failing.

I assume you are running bzr on Mac OS, where I don't have a good
feeling for how things are set up. I would have expected the package
installer to provide whatever you need for running.

In the short term, if you aren't using SVN, you can probably just
disable the plugin. The easiest way is with an environment variable:

BZR_DISABLE_PLUGIN=svn bzr init repo ./repo

John, thank you. This seems to work. If anyone can point me to information on getting the subversion plugin working on OS X 10.8.2, I'd appreciate it, although I am not using subversion at the moment.

I may have spoken too soon. When I run bzr explorer and try to open an existing project, I get a pop-up window with the same error:

bzr: ERROR: Unable to import library "subvertpy": bzr-svn: Unable to load subvertpy extensions: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/subvertpy/client.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libsvn_client-1.0.dylib

You can probably uninstall bzr-svn by finding a directory named
"bzrlib/plugins/svn" and just removing it.

The alternative is to figure out how to get
"/usr/lib/libsvn_client-1.0.dylib" installed. But that is outside of
what I know how to do.

I found a similar report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-mac-installers/+bug/942335). See the post Oldag (oldag) wrote on 2012-10-19. I installed the Xcode command line tools and bzr seems to be working fine now with subversion plugin enabled!

Thanks for your assistance John.
