Re: subversion not detecting apr and apr-utils libraries

Hello,

Thanks for the help. I tried using apr-config and the configuration went
well, however, I got the following error doing the make check:

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
build-outputs.mk:485: recipe for target 'subversion/libsvn_subr/
libsvn_subr-1.la' failed
make: *** [subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la] Error 1

What should I Do?
Thanks,
