Re: Apache Subversion 1.8.0 Released (An appropriate version of serf could not be found)

And the last hurdle I had to jump over to get svn 1.8.0 to compile on my
CentOS 6 box. When running ./configure, I had the following message
show up:

--------

checking was serf enabled... no

An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please
install serf 1.2.1 or newer.

--------

I downloaded serf from:

http://code.google.com/p/serf/downloads/list

Ran the ./configure, make, make install steps

Then I had to tell SVN's configure command where to find the serf libraries:

$ ./configure --with-serf=/usr/local/serf/

I probably could have also downloaded the serf-devel and serf RPMs from
Wandisco's site:
