SVN Client

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone out there can assist. I'm trying build a SVN 
client from scratch using the source tar-ball. I've followed the 
instructions for downloading first the source code tar, unpacking it, 
and then the dependencies tar and unpacking it over the same directory. 
At this point I run "./configure" and it fails for the "neon" package at 
the following point:

...
checking for size_t... (cached) yes
checking size of size_t... 4
checking how to print size_t... u
checking for off_t... (cached) no
checking size of off_t... 0
checking how to print off_t... none
configure: error: format string for off_t not found
configure failed for neon

This is a Solaris 10 system and unfortunately we don't have root access 
to be able to just perform a pkgadd. The SVN server is already setup on 
a system where we do have full access so all we need is the client. Does 
anyone have a suggestion on how to correct the above error? Any help is 
appreciated, thanks!

Craig

The neon libraries are only used to provide http and https access, so  
if by chance you're going to access your repository via svn or svn 
+ssh protocols, you wouldn't need neon, and can disable it by passing  
--without-neon to ./configure.
