Hi,
This is a semi-well known problem.
This error also occurs when you don't install into the prefix directory.
Ie: you configure with --prefix=/usr/local and you make install
prefix=/usr/local/stow/subversion.
I managed to solve this by installing the sub projects (apr, apr-util, db,
neon) independently into /usr/local/stow, then while I was installing
subversion, use:
Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/stow/subversion/lib
This will allow you to install even though you're using stow.
Regards,
-ryan
