RE: Error running make for subversion

From config.status...
libext='a'
shrext_cmds='.so'

Sending the config.log for completeness. I am sure I am missing something...just don't know what.
Thank you for your help.

These errors are odd: if the linker couldn't find these function, Subversion would fail to link. (All libraries, not just mod_dav_svn.) But you build and install successfully without mod_dav_svn...

On my machine, the output of 'make install' contains:

libtool: install: install .libs/mod_dav_svn.soT /srv/svn/trunk/libexec/mod_dav_svn.so
libtool: install: install .libs/mod_dav_svn.lai /srv/svn/trunk/libexec/mod_dav_svn.la
libtool: install: install .libs/mod_dav_svn.a /srv/svn/trunk/libexec/mod_dav_svn.a

The interesting thing here is that on my machine, it outputs .soT and .lai in this order, whereas on your machine, it outputs .aT and .lai and then fails. Perhaps configure had gotten the .so and .a endings swapped, and thinks shared libraries are .a and static libraries .so .
Can you check that?

On my machine:

$ grep -B1 shrext_cmds= config.status libtool config.status-libext='a'
config.status:shrext_cmds='.so'
--
libtool-# Shared library suffix (normally ".so").
libtool:shrext_cmds=".so"

I'm not sure where the 755 comes from, perhaps it's from httpd/apxs since there are no '755' in svn's source code.

HTH. And sorry for the delay, I haven't had a mod_dav_svn build environment until today.
