You may very well be running 2.2.x, but somewhere
on your system (unbeknownst to you?) there is 2.0
which your subversion build is picking up. If you
accept that, then there are a couple of things you
can do: (a) get rid of 2.0, if you know where it
is and you are sure it is not used by anybody,
(b) alter the path subversion is using to look for
apr, or (c) hide the current httpd and build afresh
and let subversion see that. I didn't know how to
do (a) or (b). Actually, I couldn't be sure if
I did either, then subversion would agree with my
view. Therefore I resorted to (c). I don't think
it is terribly large rock to turn over.

Yeah, I was there too. It is a pretty large code
and you will waste lots of time attacking that why.
Unless you are able to get into the code writer's mind,
you should treat the code as a black box and devise
means to observe its behavior to gain the insight.

I am only running 2.0 apache because I havn't had time
to test stuff with the new apache. In the meantime,
my 2.0 web server works and my subversion works. I
have a happy boss and I am a happy worker/coder.

If you want to look at what I have done, you should
search this mailing archive with the following two
subject lines:
 svnadmin: Expected repository format '3' or '5'; found format '4'
and
 building subversion from tar ball

Thanks Tena,

I will try the suggestions but my problem is not that I want to run
2.0 but I want to run 2.2, in fact I was already running 2.2.8. Some
how the subversion build thinks it is building against 2.0 and I've
no idea why.

Can anyone give me any pointers as to what I should be looking for in
my configuration or logs that would tell me why I am getting a 2.0
signature in the SVN modules and not a 2.2? I am sure this is
something simple but I cannot find it and at the moment I have had to
disable subversion from within Apache.

I am getting desperate now - is there anyone there who can provide
any help at all please?

Many thanks

Jez
