Thank you Daniel, Thorsten and Nathan. After uninstalling 'libsvn1' and 'libapache2-mod-svn', I was able to build Subversion.

Regards,
Sanad MM

It's a known issue on Debian systems; I predicted it in my first reply.
See this old bug report:

https://bugs.debian.org/291641 libtool: Checks dependencies of shared libraries without honouring RPATH

That was probably installed by a package, rather than by someone manually building from source.

Either by uninstalling the "libsvn1" and "libapache2-mod-svn" packages (which you probably have installed), or by temporarily removing the *.so files installed by those packages for the duration of the build/install process. (Renaming those files, or moving them to another directory, would suffice.)

In the temporary removal case, you'll want to also do that to *.so files shipped by other Subversion-related packages. Precisely, we're talking about the set of binary packages built from the «subversion» source package, i.e., those listed by «aptitude search '~i ~e subversion'», but it might be easier for you to find the relevant packages by going through the list of installed packages that depend on libsvn1. Once you have identified the relevant packages, take them through «dpkg -L», or just uninstall them _en masse_.

By the way, given that you're switching from (probably) a Debian package's libsvn_foo.so to self-built libsvn_foo.so, see:
https://sources.debian.org/src/subversion/1.8.10-1%7Ebpo70+1/debian/patches/apr-abi/
In a nutshell, this means that if you install from upstream sources, build an app against libsvn, and then install the Debian package again, the app will fail to run.
