Hi there,
My project and I are now happy subversion users! And I'll be using it at
home too.
But it has been a battle to get here, I must admit, taking a couple of
days, not hours. I'm hoping that this example will help anyone trying to
get to this same blissful subversioned place. I realize that this is a
young-ish project and that SuSE 7.2 is dated, and so it is only natural
that many prerequisites were out of date. But even my fairly new RedHat
8.0 installation at home was out of date, so I'm hoping that my monster
script will have some relevance even for users that don't have quite as
old an installation as what I started out with.
If it would benefit the subversion community (or mostly its future new
users) I wouldn't mind turning it into a more general purpose script or
Makefile e.g. distributed with or mentioned in INSTALL. But if there is no
interest in that, I won't bother :-) I would have *loved it* if something
like this had been around for me - a working example of some of the useful
configure parameters and environment variables for all the prerequisites
using custom --prefix options.
I'd like to thank this list whose support has been simply outstanding.
Nobody mentioned, nobody forgotten.
Sincerely,
Peter

I needed to get subversion running on a SuSE 7.2 production server that
could not be disturbed. It is also used for compiling code, so installing
new versions of existing tools into standard directories (in /usr/lib,
/usr/include, /usr/bin etc. ) was not an option.
I ended up having to build:
libtool-1.4.3.tar.gz
autoconf-2.57.tar.gz
db-4.0.14.tar.gz
httpd-2.0.44.tar.gz
Python-2.2.2.tgz
swig-1.3.17.tar.gz
subversion-0.19.1.tar.gz
I decided to cut a corner and not build the prerequisites for the
documentation, since they're mostly available online...

# This works for a SuSE 7.2 system with most *-devel.rpms
# installed. mailto:pvm@capmon.dk will give you a list of exaclty what
# packages in what versions were installed on the machine to begin with.
# No libs or incs or anything like that differed from an original SuSE 7.2
