Re: Segmentation fault in webdav after upgrading to 1.7 on CentOS - Need new ideas

RHEL and thus CentOS don't publish Subversion 1.7 RPM's, so I see that
you're using a locally compiled package. You could try the Repoforge RPM's,
from the Repoforge "extras" repository: Unfortunately, that package is a
bit out of date and doesn't look like it will get updated soon. I urge you
to go look at https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.7.x-srpm. and my tools
there, for building RHEL 6 or CentOS compatible RPM's. If nothing else, it
lists all the dependencies, so that you can be sure all the dependencies
are in place at compile time. And installing the RPM's will replace the
packages from older Subversion installations: getting them out of the way
is pretty important.

Cleaning up from the previous manual installations of Subversion and httpd
is left as an exercise for the admin.

I also conclude from your use of "-with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs"
that you're working from a locally built Apache. *DON'T DO THIS*. Building
core utilities out of sync with the libraries and dependencies that come
with the operating system itself is begging for serious maintenance pain.
If you have to build an updated httpd, *build an RPM* if possible, so that
the testable integration and layout of other components such as Subversion
don't have to be tweaked for incompatible local installations.

If you have other services that require an out-of-band built httpd, and you
have to run Subversion on the same server, and you have to maintain your
own versions of all these components, then maybe it's time to rethink the
architecture of your setup.
