make swig-pl ERROR: illegal reference to symbol: _apr_file_open_stderr

Hi all,

I've been struggling for days to get Perl bindings working. I'm new to
working this intimately with installing applications under *nix so
please bare with me.

OS: Mac OS X 10.3.4
Subversion: 1.1.3
swig: 1.3.21

The error is:

ld: core.o illegal reference to symbol: _apr_file_open_stderr defined
in indirectly referenced dynamic library
/usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-0.0.dylib
make[1]: *** [blib/arch/auto/SVN/_Core/_Core.bundle] Error 1
make: *** [swig-pl] Error 2

The last thing being done in the "make swig-pl" that caused this error
was (newlines added for readability):

I found this thread that discussed the problem back in December 2003 -

As he can't even compile, if it's related to DynaLoader the problem is
  on freebsd rather than OS X.

Any idea what is causing this, or how do you "link _Core.so with
-lapr"? I see that there are a number of "-l X" - how do you add
another and will this solve the problem?

Thankyou for any help,
