Actually the dav-directory is still empty, but it belongs to user nobody
and the rights are all set. The outputs of ldd svnadmin follows:

        libsvn_repos-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.0 (0x40017000)
        libsvn_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_fs-1.so.0 (0x40024000)
        libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0
(0x4003f000)
        libdb-4.0.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so (0x40052000)
        libsvn_subr-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.0
(0x400eb000)
        libaprutil-0.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0
(0x40103000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x40118000)
        libapr-0.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libapr-0.so.0 (0x40136000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

ldd mod_dav_svn.so gives me:

        libsvn_repos-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_repos-1.so.0 (0x40011000)
        libsvn_fs-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_fs-1.so.0 (0x4001e000)
        libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0
(0x40039000)
        libsvn_subr-1.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.0
(0x40046000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40065000)
        libaprutil-0.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0
(0x4018d000)
        libdb-4.0.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so (0x401a2000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x4023a000)
        libapr-0.so.0 => /usr/local/apache2/lib/libapr-0.so.0 (0x40258000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40275000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40299000)
        libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x402cc000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402e2000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

As far as I can see this should be ok, and they are using the same
libraries.

Actually I did not really want to start debugging the apache httpd, but if
nothing else comes up, I guess I might have to start doing just that. But
first, any other ideas? Please?

Thanks in advance,
