Picking up wrong libraries/dependencies

I'm hoping someone can help me understand how to handle this...

I am attempting to install subversion on RHEL5. I have newer versions
of apr, apr-util, neon and sqlite in independent directories:

/shared/apr
/shared/apr-util
/shared/neon
/shared/sqlite

Now I am trying to compile subversion 1.7.4. I configure using this
command:

./configure --prefix=/shared/svnprod/soft --with-apr=/shared/apr
--with-apr-util=/shared/apr-util
--with-apxs=/shared/svnprod/httpd/bin/apxs --with-sqlite=/shared/sqlite
--with-neon=/shared/neon

Compilation works. However, the difficulty I am running into is that I
also have RHEL5 default versions of apr, apr-util, and sqlite on the
server and, when I run the resulting executables, they are picking up
the RHEL5 versions instead of the /shared versions.

/shared/svnprod/soft/bin 1020$ ldd svn | grep apr
     libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00002ab79c60b000)
     libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00002ab79c847000

I've also tried creating and ld.conf.so.d file for subversion with:
/shared/apr/lib
/shared/apr-util/lib
/shared/sqlite/lib

and the result of that is that ldconfig ends up with both in the cache:

  /shared/svnprod/soft/bin 1023$ ldconfig -p | grep apr
     libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) =>
/usr/lib64/libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0
     libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0 (libc6) =>
/usr/lib/libgstdataprotocol-0.10.so.0
     libaprutil-1.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) =>
/shared/apr-util/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0
     libaprutil-1.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libaprutil-1.so.0
     libaprutil-1.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0
     libaprutil-1.so (libc6,x86-64) => /shared/apr-util/lib/libaprutil-1.so
     libapr-1.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /shared/apr/lib/libapr-1.so.0
     libapr-1.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libapr-1.so.0
     libapr-1.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libapr-1.so.0
     libapr-1.so (libc6,x86-64) => /shared/apr/lib/libapr-1.so

But subversion still runs into problems because it is using the wrong
libraries. I get such errors as:

/shared/svnprod/soft/bin 1025$ ./svn
./svn: symbol lookup error: /shared/svnprod/soft/lib/libsvn_subr-1.so.0:
undefined symbol: apr_atomic_xchgptr

How do I get subversion properly compiled and running to use the newer
libraries. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Tom Hanstra
