BerkeleyDB 4.7 may be too new. Or you may just need to specify it
differently; try:
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.7/include:/usr/local/
BerkeleyDB.4.7/lib
The INSTALL document [1] says version 4.4 is recommended, but implies
that 4.5 will be supported once APR supports BDB 4.5, which I believe
it has for some time, so I think the INSTALL document is out of date.
MacPorts compiles Subversion using BDB 4.6 without problems.
Do you really need BDB support for some reason? Most people don't. I
recommend using
--without-berkeley-db
when compiling both apr-util and subversion to save yourself the
trouble.
