Yup, this is the right place, and you're welcome :-).

It is, but the most helpful thing would be an exact transcript of your
compilation attempt, starting from the checkout. That way we can
determine if there's a bug in Subversion's build system, or if you
just missed a step (such as forgetting to run autogen.sh or
something). In the transcript, remember to include not only the
commands you issued, but their output too.
