Do you mean that you compiled and ran this on some other machine (that
never had Subversion installed before), or does "this" refer to the
recipe above, and you mean that you did all the above on a machine
that never had Subversion installed before?

This sort of problem can happen when different versions of the
Subversion libraries are mixed. I suspect you did have an old
Subversion installed before, perhaps it came from the operating
system? Find all locations of things called "libsvn*" on your system,
and send us an 'ls -l' of those things, maybe?
