Next time, build from the SRPM, or at least start from there. It will
give you a better handle on system dependencies and options for
"./configure" to compile the necessary components.

I actually publish tools to backport current releases of Subversion to
RHEL 6, My approach involves some work, using tools like 'mock' to
build the Subversion packages in a pristine chroot cage environment to
make things work well. But it helps keep my developer environment,
which may have 3rd party library updates, from the build environment.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to backporting Subersion 1.9 to RHEL 6.
