Can't figure out how to build subversion on SuSE 7.2......

Hi there,

I've been trying to get a subversion client and server to just compile
several times in the past, but this time I insist on getting it working,
and I'm affraid I'll need a little help. I'm seeing these strange things:

* Critical: Why do I get this compile-time error from libtool?
  libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed
  make: *** [subversion/mod_dav_svn/mod_dav_svn.la] Error 1
  I don't use any relative paths for configure and even changing the
command line for libtool to not include
  ../../subversion/yadayadayada still generates the warning (one of the
.la files has relative paths?)

* Curious: Why do I get this?
  "configure: error: Could not find Berkeley DB 4.0.14 with names: db4 db"
  when running subversion's configure
--with-berkeley-db=$BERKELEY_DB_PREFIX
  I have db-4.1.25 and 4.0.14 is no longer downloadable....
  putting the same db source as subversion/db seems to find it fine...

The script (with all options to configure etc) I've used to generate all
this can be found at:
http://demo.capmon.dk/~pvm/subversionBuild/
Especially, the script is: makeSubversion and the output is in
makeSubversion.out
I left also the compiled directories and installed directories - the works
- there if anyone needs more info.

(Note that it was actually compiled on another machine and that dir used
to be /home/pvm/work..)

I'm running on SuSE 7.2 (which is born with old libtool, autoconf, apache
and Berkeley DB versions). So I've had to get libtool, autoconf, DB,
apache and subversion compiled and working together. This is complicated a
little further by the fact that I can't install as root, so I have to
install under my own prefixes. But that shouldn't require magic, should
it?

It also looks to me like there might be a documentation bug in INSTALL:
      "On Unix systems, the './configure' script will tell you if you are
      missing the correct version of any of the required libraries or
      tools"
... No, it doesn't. autogen.sh does. (Took me forever to find - but thats
my fault... :-)

I started with a vanilla SuSE 7.2 build (Yes, I reinstalled SuSE 7.2 along
the way)
All the rpms that I started out with are listed in
http://demo.capmon.dk/~pvm/subversionBuild/rpms.txt

Hopefully this is a known or easy issue, and I can be up and running with
a svn client/server pair soon! I appreciate any help!

Sincerely,

Peter
