Hi Anton,

The first place that I'd start is checking if the TCP port for svnserve
is listening for connections:

netstat -an | grep 3690

If it isn't, then something is not working correctly when svnserve
starts in daemon mode.  If it is listening, then something is still
blocking the connection from your svn client to the TCP port.

The fact that you're getting a "localhost: Network is unreachable" error
is strange.  What is the output of "/sbin/ifconfig -a" and "netstat -rn"?

Regards,
Greg
