Tried option 1, much better... but still fails..
...
checking for odbc/sql.h... no
checking Expat 1.95.x... no
checking old Debian-packaged expat... no
checking old FreeBSD-packaged expat... no
checking Expat 1.0/1.1... no
  setting LDFLAGS to "-L/usr/local/lib"
  setting INCLUDES to "-I/usr/local/include"
checking Expat 1.95.x in /usr/local... no
  nulling LDFLAGS
  nulling INCLUDES
configuring package in xml/expat now
/bin/bash: /home/scott/subversion-1.6.2/apr/xml/expat/configure: No such
file or directory
configure failed for xml/expat
configure failed for apr

Bummer.

This happens all the time. I'm basically hitting the wall that I inevitably
hit when trying to get anything done on Linux - there are so many
interdependencies that it's impossible to resolve them... if it isn't
already done by the maintainers of the disto, forget it. I'm just surprised
that Ubuntu didn't have 1.6 available to install. We're already on 1.6.2
and they don't have 1.6.0. I'll save my rant about how ridiculous it is to
not distribute official binaries for another day ;-)

Thanks for the help, there is no way I would make any progress with out it
(and I'm a professional developer with a degree in Computer Engineering).
