can you please help to fix this problem as i am unable to checkout my code.

Answer 1

Well the subversion you installed with yum should be in /usr so the libraries in /usr/local that are causing your problem are presumably from a different version that was compiled from source.

If you don't need them any more then the easiest solution is problem just to remove all traces of subversion from /usr/local and it's subdirectories.
