Problems while building subversion as an ordinary user(with out Root privilages)...

[Ram Nukala <ob...@yahoo.com>]

Hi , 
I am trying to build subversion 1.1.3 from source on a
FreeBSD system. I don't have root access on this box
and I am running in to problems during 'make install'
(I had already installed apache2 successfully under my
home directory and ran ./configure
--with-apr=/usr/home/myname/apache2
--with-apr-util=/usr/home/myname/apache2) and
successfully ran make also. 

It complains about not being able to write to the
directory /usr/local and I don't have permission to
write to that directory. 

Is there any way I can build with out having to be
root and not having write permission to /usr
directory. 

Or is there any place I can download the prebuilt
binaries for FreeBSD(i386). The link on the subversion
site doesn't seem to have the actual binary. 


Thanks
Ram

Unless told otherwise, configure will assume you want to install 
to /usr/local.  Try passed the --prefix option to configure.  
See ./configure --help for details.
