Re: how to install ?

Thanks for help. I have since resolved this problem by building from sources and lots of hacking about. You guys seriously need some better installation instructions.

The reason I used "--nodeps" is because it specifically said to do this in the installation instructions for the binary rpm for redhat 9.

  Using --nodeps is bad, and causes RPM to install the package you asked
  for without installing any packages it might depend on. If you really
  had got all the RPMs you need for Subversion, then you wouldn't have
  needed --nodeps.

  Try again without --nodeps and try to resolve the other dependencies it
  complains about.
