Thank you, everyone, for your input on my seemingly endless stream of
problems. I never want to go through this again.
After I tried to recompile and reinstall glibc (which I had successfully
done before), I was told I couldn't because I had an old gcc. Yep, my
gcc was 2.96. I downloaded, compiled, and installed gcc 3.3.2, and svn
worked! I'm now happily running 0.35.1 on client and server.
Questions still linger in my mind:
* What's the relationship between gcc and glibc?
* Why did gcc work before for the other svn versions?
* Why does
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/Python20FrequentlyAskedQuestions
seem to indicate that gcc will be updated by updating glibc?
* Why did my updating glibc, which fixed the problem for compiling
Python 2 on Red Hat 7, cause problems with gcc?
I can only assume that updating glibc via RPM to fix the Python problem
somehow *reverted* my gcc to an old version that was buggy and created a
buggy svn. (I don't know why Python compiled correctly, though. I guess
I should go back and recompile it just in case.)
