Thanks for the input everyone...I guess I should have been more clear.
I installed svn --with-ssl, --with-apr, etc., etc., etc. on one box and
it's serving up my repos like a charm through apache 2.2. On another
box, all I needed was a cmd line client that can
checkout/checkin/tag/etc. through https. So, I thought that there might
be some sort of lightweight client out there.
I suppose I've been spoiled by the fact that one can untar a cvs tarball
and bam, it works and you can checkout your projects from the command
line. With all of your comments in mind, I have installed (and tested
successfully) svn on the box that needed the client only, with the
following "simple" commands:
#build neon from neon dir within subversion src dir
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/neon --with-ssl
make
make install
#build svn
./configure --with-ssl --with-neon=/usr/local/neon
make
make install
Thanks. Out.

I'm only aware of one Subversion command-line client, and it's the one
provided by the Subversion group, and it's called "svn" and it's what
you get when you download and compile and install the Subversion source
distribution. Subversion, both the client and the server, require the
Apache portable runtime, APR. (This has nothing to do with the Apache
web server; it's just a library which is provided by the same Apache
group which is useful in developing cross-platform
applications.) The Subversion client furthermore requires the Neon
library to communicate over HTTP, a feature you are likely to want in a
Subversion client.
I do not know RapidSVN specifically, but I would expect most Subversion
GUIs to require either the Subversion libraries or the Subversion
command-line client to be installed in order to function.
You'll have to try it out or ask the developers of those GUI tools.
