How to import an unversioned directory in to local repository in smartsvn?

I'm starting to use SmartSVN and I can't import a directory to a local repository. It gives me the error shown in the figure. enter image description here

I have already configured c:\repo as the local directory but I don't know how to choose it in this step in the Import Into Repository dialog.

Could anybody tell me then how to select my local repository to import my projects?

SmartSVN does not support the Local Repository Access (aka file://) protocol. You'll need to start a server to use the repository on your local machine.

Based on your screenshot you appear to be using Windows. Probably the easiest process would be to download the Windows Vanilla Subversion installer from WANdisco. Once that's installed you should be able to start up svnserve from the command prompt like so:

svnserve -d -r c:\repo

Then you'll be able to access the repository via svn://127.0.0.1/ in SmartSVN. If svnserve is stopped or the computer is restarted you'll need to repeat this process. If you want a more permanent setup I'd suggest setting up svnserve as a service on Windows which is covered in the SVN Book.
