I originally saw a note regarding the mixture of old and new libraries
before I sent my note. Turns out the server I was compiling,
installing, and failing to run on had Subversion installed in /usr.
Thinking the old libraries might have screwed something up, I recompiled
from scratch on another machine that didn't have Subversion already on
it.

Looks like the library path is compiled in so I don't have to add
anything to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I did modify path to find my newly
installed version first.

On both machines (the one that has an old version in /usr and the one
that only has my installed version), I get the same error about
svn_ra_dav_init. That's when I sent my message to the mailing list
since it wasn't an old library conflict problem.

The only thing that failed in the configuration was that the installed
version of swig was too old. I installed the latest version and tried
again. Didn't make a difference. I'm using Apache httpd v2.0.52 (I
don't think I configured it for DAV yet, but I figured I could do that
after I had the basic Subversion stuff working). All other dependencies
are what come with RH9 (which configure didn't seem to have a problem
with).

I can try or report on anything else that will help debug this problem.
