RE: Problems compiling 1.7.0 on redhat el4 64bit

Like I've said, I was able to build subversion 1.7.0 on our 64bit systems in the past. The build flow hasn't changed. I've put a lot of time into trying different options to the build flow and I'm pretty sure that isn't the culprit.

As for your second recommendation, it doesn't look like libmagic can be disabled. The configure script doesn't read the without_libmagic variable anywhere. And the configure script doesn't properly deal with the "no" argument. I just ended up deleting the entire libmagic section in the configure script and built subversion that way. Now at least I can build on a 32bit system and run the 32bit version of svn on our 64bit systems.

At that time I stopped using 1.7.0 assuming the issue would be fixed before release. Unfortunately I just downloaded the beta2 release of 1.7.0 and I'm having the same problem. Interestingly enough I can successfully build beta2 on one of our 32bit systems, but I can't use that build on our 64 bit systems because it tries to link against the 32bit version of libmagic.

Ironically, if I run svn with no options or invalid options it successfully runs, but as soon as I add a valid option like "svn help" it segfaults. I've spent multiple hours trying to compile with different options to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH/PATH variables and I've tried to mix up how I build apr, apr-util, serf, and neon, but it always results in the same problem.

This is most likely a problem with your build, not with Subversion itself. Maybe your build is getting 32bit and 64bit libraries mixed up?

Note that libmagic support was added quite recently (in alpha2).
Does the problem disappear if you pass the --with-libmagic=no option to configure?
