install failure of 0.25
Hi,
I'm trying to install subversion 0.25 in my home area, make install
works fine until ( the actual setting of prefix is
/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/subversion-0.25 ) :
------ completed install in neon
/net/home/rcc/skk/src/subversion-0.25/ac-helpers/install-sh -c -d
/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/subversion-0.25/lib
cd subversion/libsvn_subr ; /bin/sh
/net/home/rcc/skk/src/subversion-0.25/libtool --mode=install
/net/home/rcc/skk/src/subversion-0.25/ac-helpers/install-sh -c
libsvn_subr-1.la
/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/subversion-0.25/lib/libsvn_subr-1.la
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libsvn_subr-1.la' to a
directory not ending in /usr/local/lib
Is there some reason by libsvn_subr-1.1a must be installed in
/usr/local/lib ?
I'm only building the client application.
Thanks,

I think the libtool version is a red herring. The tarball contains
all the libtool files needed for the build; you should be able to
build the tarball on a machine that doesn't have libtool installed.
Your problem boils down to a failure to build on RedHat 8, perhaps
only when configured with certain prefixes. I don't have such a
system so I can't really investigate the problem, but there must be
lots of people out there who do have RedHat 8.

I compile subversion-0.25 on my gentoo box and redhat 9 box. Both have
libtool-1.4.3 -- either of these had build errors. The only system
where I had build problems was a redhat 8 system with libtool-1.4.2.
Has anyone else had a problem with system with libtool-1.4.2 ?
Thanks,

I think that's the version you (Steve) have installed, not the version
in the tarball.

I have now downloaded the 0.25 tarball and run
tar xfz subversion-0.25.tar.gz
cd subversion-0.25
./configure --prefix=/tmp/biteme
make
make install
without a problem. Since the tarball appears to contain the same
version of libtool that I use locally, namely
./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36)
I'm not really surprised it works.

I seem to have missed the original e-mail, were you talking to me?
If so, then I currently have libtool-1.4.3-10 (debian/sid) installed
on the system I used to release Subversion-0.25.

version 1.4.3. buildcheck.sh requires it when building a release.
$ fgrep VERSION ac-helpers/ltmain.sh
VERSION=1.4.3
$

That is the libtool on your box. A tarball effectively has a copy of the
packager's libtool.

$ ./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.54 2001/09/11 03:33:37)
I should also note, that I tried to install subversion into another
directory ( /tmp/biteme, if anyone cares ) and this failed with the same
error message.
Also, might I suggest that this bug be fixed for the next release.
Please.

I haven't downloaded the tarball, which version of libtool does it
contain? A question for release manager: Paul, which version of
libtool do you have installed?

Hmm, Indeed, you are all powerful. I ran ./autogen.sh, configure and
make. I did a make install and it worked.
Thanks for the help,

I meant Subversion, so you answered my question :)

Are you installing from a tarball? I thought libtool came in the
tarball, in which case it won't use your local version.

Hmm, I use --prefix=/usr/local/subversion all the time; that doesn't
end in /usr/local/lib. However I haven't built a tarball recently, so
I am probably using a different libtool. I suppose you could try
running ./autogen.sh to regenerate libtool and configure.

Install what? If you are talking of libtool, its libtool-1.4.2 from
RedHat 8 RPM. If you are talking about subversion, I did:
./configure --prefix=/net/home/rcc/skk/local/stow/subversion-0.25
make
make install
and then get that error message.
Thanks,

I suspect this is a libtool DESTDIR problem. What command did you use
to configure Subversion? What command did you use to install it?
