Thanks, Ramanathan.
I was missing the apr-util-devel package. That's what was causing the error
apxs:Error: /usr/bin/apu-1-config not found!.
The relationship between apxs, apr-util and apu-1--config is not obvious.
Everything seems to build ok. mod_dav_svn is created. But when I start httpd, I get a segmentation
fault. Restoring the old httpd.conf fixes the problem, which suggests that the mod_dav_svn module is
somehow wrong. I will go over your Linux Gazette article more carefully, as I notice it discusses
mod_dav_svn and APR libraries.
I want the FSFS filesystem, and I understand it to be the default. Adding --without-berkeley-db to
the ./configure command line doesn't stop the messages about BDB, so I think the option is ignored.
