Re: configure --prefix requires DESTDIR

Your toplevel makefile states
  INSTALL_MOD_SHARED = @APXS@ -i -S LIBEXECDIR="$(APACHE_LIBEXECDIR)" @MOD_ACTIVATION@
where
  APACHE_LIBEXECDIR = $(DESTDIR)@APACHE_LIBEXECDIR@
which causes the install to fail with
  cp .libs/mod_dav_svn.soT /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
  cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so': Permission denied

Obviously, by adding DESTDIR to the make install command,
this is avoided, and then everything works fine.

| There is no makefile in subversion/mod_dav_svn. We use a single
