No, not really :-)

What is most probably happening is that for some reason the Subversion
client is finding some old libraries from the system - from a previous
install of subversion or apr or something. This shouldn't happen - but
it may happen if you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to something for
example. Compiling with --disable-shared fixes this because then it
will not find the libraries in the wrong order since there's no
libraries to find :-)

Can you try checking with 'ldd' that what libraries does the 'svn'
executable try to use?
