trying to compilew on RH7.2

Hi,

I have been trying for a bit now to get this thing compiled on RedHat7.2. I have
read the INSTALL doc and downloaded/updated everything it asks. The problem
might be with autoconf - it says I need at least 2.5. I got that and installed
it. The

Doing:
# autoconf -V
gives me 'autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.50

but then I go to ./autogen.sh and it does a buildcheck for autoconf version 2.50
and it says (ok)

Then about 5 lines down in the output it chokes on:
Creating svn_private_config.h.in...
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf 2.50 or higher is required for this script

but it builds the configure file.

I go on to
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --with-apr=/path/to/httpd-2.0/srclib/apr --
with-apr-util=/path/to/httpd-2.0/srclib/apr-util

it ends with an error saying cannot find input file: svn_private_config.h.in

I have checked the faq and searched on google but did not see anything that
helped me.

Can I just create this file manually? Is there an example? Any ideas on what
could I be doind wrong?

thanks for any advice,
-Rob

I've got RPMS for 7.2 and such if you follow the links for the downloads.

RedHat users: Don't beat yourself up trying to compile Subversion on 
RedHat (unless you are just wanting to learn it, of course)!  It's already 
been done!   

You can dowload RPMS already working on RedHat 7.X and RedHat 8.X.  You 
can use those to update the the latest versions.

Please let me know if you have any problems, suggestions, enhancements, 
etc. for them!

Hooray for the new (coming) Mandrake RPMs!  

I can create directory for Suse RPMs also.
