Getting subclipse to work on Ubuntu 64 and Indigo - Incompatible JavaHL library loaded. 1.7.x or later required

Question

How do I fix this?

I am on ubuntu 64 using Eclipse indigo. I installed http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x.

At first I got this error:

Answer 1

For those following @jlb's instructions above but getting the following (or similar) error:

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

That repository hasn't been updated for later versions of Ubuntu, but the equivalent subversion-1.8 repository has.

First, remove the 1.7 repository in Synaptic Package Manager (instructions here: http://www.maketecheasier.com/remove-repositories-in-ubuntu/ ), then:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libsvn-java

And follow the rest of the instructions on editing eclipse.ini as above.
