I have subversion on a recentish RedHat, and had the same problems as
you did.
Do not use the latest SWIG - the docs lie, they do not support 1.3.24
and up, but do support 1.3.24. That'll solve your SWIG problem.
BDB is a simillar story -- you probably have BDB 1 on RH, and the very
latest DBD doesn't work with RH, so my advice is either ask me offlist
to find the BDB version that works, or better still, use the FSFS, which
is much nicer, everyone will agree.
Good luck, get in touch if I can help.

Subject: Installing Subversion on Red Hat 9
Hi all,
I have recently come across subversion for the use of
controlling our development projects.
I am attempting to install verson 1.2.3 on Red Hat 9 (Shrike)
with limited success.
I have untarred the source distribution, obtained berkeley db
4.3.28 and needed to locate swig 1.3.25 as it could not find that on the
system.
After the first configure, make and make install any utility
that was run such as svn and svnadmin resulted in a 'segmentation fault'
message being displayed.
I then repeated the process making sure to note any errors. The
following is an extract from the make install section.
------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to
`/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries
for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

------------------------------------
I can only assume that this linking warning is the cause of
subversion not compiling correctly and therefore not running.
It seems to be that it is looking for libdb-4.0.la which is not
on the system but I have supplied the path to the latest berkeley db
using the configure command :-
./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apache
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apache
-with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/src/db-4.3.28 --with-swig=/usr/local
I would be grateful for any advice or guidance in this matter.
Regards
Philip Radford.
