ssh error when using svn

Hi... I'm getting a strange problem when I try to use SVN from Komodo. Komodo seems to know what files are in svn and their status. (Green tick and pencil icon on files), but when I try to commit changes, I get this error: "svn: Error in child process: exec of 'ssh' failed: No such file or directory"
I have Cygwin installed and ssh is installed.
I'm using Komodo 4.4.1. Should I upgrade to 5.x?

Note that Komodo's svn handling is a wrapper around the command line svn client.

I would imagine this has something to do with either the environment variables, or the cached authentication. Here's what you can try:

* use the svn command line to test a commit "svn commit -m 'test commit' myfile.txt", does this work?
* ensure the command line executable is the same one as you have set in Komodo's svn preferences
* check the environment variables set in the command prompt (terminal) and compare to what is set in Komodo's environment preferences, there may be something missing like "SVN_SSH".

Cheers,
