Unsupported RA plugin ABI version (2) for ra_dav.

I'm trying to build subversion in a private directory to play w/ some ideas
and it builds fine. However it doesn't allow me to import any code, giving me
the error:

$ svn import -m "test import" apache file:///home/abel/svnwork/repo
svn: Unsupported RA plugin ABI version (2) for ra_dav.

According to what I see, libsvn_ra_dav.so doesn't even get built. Strace shows
that the binary tries to find libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0, doesn't find it in the
private installation tree and then falls back to ldconfig PATH which
helpfully serves it /usr/lib/libsvn_ra_dav-1.so.0 from Subversion 1.0.4
provided by the distribution. I assume that this instance is incompatible
with whatever is expected by the up-to-date tree.

Hence the questions:

1. How do I get the thing to build properly?
2. If I have to enable DAV explicitly, then why? One would think that missing
plugin for access type that is not utilized should not be an issue.
3. If I am right about my conclusions above, then why is do those libraries
retain the very same name and version? Shared library versioning was created
specifically to alleviate such issues and upgrading the plugin version for
each ABI change would be a natural step.

In any case, some help w/ building the thing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

P.S. The system is Fedora Core 2
