It looks like you aren't using the in-tree apr, but the one installed on
your system. SuSE's default apr packages are built against gdbm, so it
becomes a dependency when building mod_dav_svn. Install the gdbm-devel
package and you should be good to go. :-)
BTW, these questions should be mailed to the users@ list. The dev@ list
is geared towards Subversion development topics.
