SVN 1.4.0 & APR 0.9.4

Hi,
   I'm trying to install trac on my VPS. The hosting company had a apache
2.0 and subversion 1.4.0 already installed. When I installed trac, it
complained that the swig bindings for svn weren't installed correctly. So I
figured I'd have to just install it myself. However, I'm having trouble
configuring svn 1.4.0. The version of APR I have is 0.9.4. I get this error
when I configure:
[quote]
checking httpd version... recent enough
configure: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) library configuration
checking for APR... yes
checking APR version... 0.9.4
wanted regexes are 0\.9\.[7-9] 0\.9\.1[0-9] 1\.
configure: error: invalid apr version found
[/quote]

Is there a reason why it's looking for 0.9.[7-9]? If not, is there a way I
can change these requirements?

I can avoid this if there is a way to enable the swig bindings without
reconfiguring svn, is this possible?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
Eric
