Thanks. Sometimes we miss things or don't get to them. Reposting is always

The --with-apache line says "build me static support". In other words, get
things set up for you to statically link mod_dav_svn directly into Apache.
Thus, the system requires Apache source to function. It is saying that it
can't find the source file (.../modules/dav/main/mod_dav.h).

Just drop the --with-apache line. The --with-apxs will point the system at
your installed Apache, and a dynamically loadable mod_dav_svn.so will be
built for you.
