The error message says it all. mod_dav_svn is dynamically linking with
BDB 2.4.14, but it should be using 4.0.14. My best guess is that you
have Berkeley DB 2.x installed, and the dynamic loader finds that before
the 4.0.14 you need to build Subversion with.

Yes, that worked -- the error you got came from mod_dav_svn.
