Hi Karl,

     I did as you suggested, and everything built fine, without a hitch.
You are correct. I think the thing that confused me was that at the top
of the INSTALL file it says: "So long as you don't plan to build a new
client from the latest source or to build a Subversion server, you can go
directly to section II.A" Since I needed to build an svnserve server,
I kept reading and got lost in all the instructions for people who want
to build from the latest sources from the svn repository. Anyway ...
I should have responded to you sooner, but got tied up in trying to get
svnserve to work. Major problem turned out to be that the hosting
service had port 3690 (or 3609, or whatever it is that svnserve uses)
blocked. So, things are looking a bit more cheery now. Thanks for your
excellent advice (and also for the useful info about pastebin.org.
I'm going to keep that in my back pocket).

Dennis
