Unknown FS type 'fsfs' when creating new repos

From: Kenny Jepson <kenny-svnlist_at_cardservice-int.com>

Hello:

I took great pains to install subversion 1.4 from source on OS X with
BDB support. After reading somewhat more of the book, I decided FSFS
is likely preferable for my application, however, when attempting to
create an FSFS repository I get the following:

# svnadmin create test_repos --fs-type fsfs
svn: Unknown FS type 'fsfs'

I get a similar complaint for 'bdb' if I just use the default command

# svnadmin create test_repos2
svn: Unknown FS type 'bdb'

I'm guessing the second one is because I don't have the bdb engine
running at present. I'll test that shortly.
However, I'm mostly concerned with creating the FSFS type repos. Have
I managed to install subversion without support for the FSFS system?

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really
appreciate it. I'll list my install configuration parameters below.

Thanks for any help!

-k

compiled subversion with the following command (initial log details
follow)
   $ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ --with-apr-util=/
usr/local/apr-util-httpd/ --with-ssl --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr
/local/apache2/bin/apxs

compiled apr and apr-util from the httpd/src distribution with the
following lines
   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ --with-berkeley-db=/
usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/
   $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util-httpd/ --with-apr=/usr/
local/apr-httpd/ --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/

Here's my httpd configuration command, in case it's of any use...
   $ ./configure --enable-ssl --with-z --enable-so --with-berkeley-
db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.5/ --enable-mods-shared=headers rewrit
e dav auth-digest authnz dav-fs dav-lock deflate mime-magic speling
alias auth-basic authn-default authn-file authz-user cgi defla
te dir mime setenvif autoindex include --with-apr=/usr/local/apr-
httpd/ --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util-httpd/

Here is the first page or so of the subversion config.log in case the
additional system information is useful. I won't post the full config
logs unless someone asks, since they are pretty long....

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by subversion configure 1.1.4, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57. Invocation command line was

   $ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr-httpd/ --with-apr-util=/
usr/local/apr-util-httpd/ --with-ssl --with-zlib --with-apxs=/usr
/local/apache2/bin/apxs
