make install failing on OS X
I compiled from source (folder is on desktop) via the following commands run from the subversion directory on the desktop:
autogen.sh
./configure ---with-ssl --libtool=/usr/bin
make
sudo make install
--with-ssl is done under the premise that it is need for the client to communicate via ssl to the repository server. --libtool was added because I believed that was what was causing the following error during install:
/Users/kiddm/Desktop/subversion-1.3.2/apr/libtool --mode=install cp libapr-0.la /usr/local/apr/lib
cp .libs/libapr-0.0.dylib /usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-0.0.dylib
cp: /usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-0.0.dylib: Too many levels of symbolic links
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make: *** [external-install] Error 1
Now I understand what the error is saying but I have no idea why it's happening as I installed via the same process on an iMac and I encountered none of these problems and the symbolic linking is found there as well.
Any ideas?

Yes, it sounds like your apr installation is funky. Was that
installed separately I assume?
On a clean OS X system, this invocation has never failed.
GXX=yes ./configure --with-ssl --with-zlib
make
sudo make install
The "GXX=yes" and "--enable-shared=yes" parts help the neon lib build
a shared library instead of just building the static lib. Not
strictly necessary but fits better with the rest of the install since
shared libraries are built by default for the subversion/apr pieces.

There are several binary distributions of Subversion for Mac OS X,
and it compiles just fine using DarwinPorts and presumably with Fink
as well. So it shouldn't be that hard to get it working.
Have you already tried without running autogen.sh? You should only
need autogen.sh if you're trying to build from a checkout of the
Subversion repository. You don't need to run autogen.sh with released
source tarballs.
You are apparently also configuring with --prefix=/usr/local or
something like that?
Is /usr/local/apr/lib a symlink that points to itself or its parent
directory, or something odd like that?
