@oopsIDiditagain:
Hi, just need to wipe the dirty package source out, never ever delete your repositories :O Since svn uses the same repos schema since 1.4, no changes need to be made to the repos, just use the same connection (I assume you did not put repos directories in your temporary src folder, if so I’d suggest that you move them to a dedicated safe folder and change repos urls accordingly.)

If you do a clean wipe of the src how do you reconnect to the old SVN repos. I am a SVN admin nub

@Harsha:
Actually I’ve noticed that warning too, but I don’t remember seeing it last time. It’s just a harmless unrecognized option. Hey, real programmers don’t care warnings, do they :-)

during install apr-util, ./configure warned about option –enabled-shared

@Braddcadd
1. Delete the stale subversion source folder completely ( which should has neon inside )
2. Decompress the subversion and svn dependency packages and configure -> make && make install, the reason is that if you use previously linked/compiled source, it would always refer to the old libraries even after you have recompiled it.
3. If it still fails, delete all dirty source code and try to do it from scratch (apr, apr-util, neon then svn).

I followed your steps but the last “make install” for subversion gave the same error libpq.so.3 not found or something. Any hints?

Awesome work. Wish I would have found this 2 days ago when they did the update. Was pulling my hair out. I ended up reinstalling svn with the newest version and installing apr –without-pgsql to hopefully prevent it in the future.
