Re: Subversion on AIX

I just tried building APR with your proceedure and socktest still
fails. Did you run the tests? I suspect that this particular test
might not be that important.

You will need to change all the reference to ~dev to the correct user (or different path altogether). Also, these instruction do not specify any --prefix, because I wanted to install SVN in the standard directory. However, I have used the exact same instruction for testing 1.6.9 prior to installation and it that case I used the --prefix. As long as you specify the same location for --prefix everything should work.

Also, you may need to use the --with-sqlite option when configuring Subversion to point to sqlite3.c in the Subversion dependency tree (I had SQLite installed). And obviously you can change other option to consifure Subversion for your needs.
