My long story shortened :). Had been try BerkleyDB4.2 which is not
accounted for in <svn>/apr-util/configure, only 4.1. 4.1 was not in
/etc/ld.so.conf, so configure used distribution's db-4.0.

My fix was to add BerkleyDB4.1 to ld.so.conf, do an ldconfig, then re-run
svn's configure, make clean all install, and svnadmin now works :).

Thanks to everyone for the quick and accurate information,
JES
