Yes, it sounds like your apr installation is funky. Was that
installed separately I assume?
On a clean OS X system, this invocation has never failed.
GXX=yes ./configure --with-ssl --with-zlib
make
sudo make install
The "GXX=yes" and "--enable-shared=yes" parts help the neon lib build
a shared library instead of just building the static lib. Not
strictly necessary but fits better with the rest of the install since
shared libraries are built by default for the subversion/apr pieces.
