Help Installing on FC4
I'm trying to get Subversion installed on FC4 and something isn't
right. I'm trying to install 1.3.2 from a tarball following the
minimal instructions (in my case, destructions) in the INSTALL file.
I followed the verbiage to the letter (i.e. no options when running
./configure).
I unpacked the tarball to /tmp so I have /tmp/subversion-1.3.2/*.
Here's what I'm seeing that doesn't seem right:
1. mod_dav_svn.so wasn't compiled. I can see the source code in the
tmp directory, but no shared object file.
2. There is no other subversion directory that I can see. Does
configure compile the code in the directory to which the tarball was
unpacked? I noticed no mention of this in the INSTALL file so I guess
it was expecting it to behave a bit more like the apache configure.
That is, ask me where I want it to be installed and default to
/usr/local/, maybe.
Clearly I'm in need of some remedial installation help. Can anyone
help me understand where I missed the boat?
Thanks.

When there are any extra steps or appropriate settings, it's really handy to
use the SRPM's. And .spec files in the tarball are good guidelines for this,
since they do certain smart things like tell RedHat 7.x operating systems
not use BDB and disable it in the configuration step.

Okay, then. Looks like mod_dav_svn.so got built and installed
properly once I got squared away with the httpd-devel package. I've
updated my apache config and the service restarts successfully, so now
I just need to import a project and see whether I can access it
properly. Thanks again for your help.

Most *nix software requires 3 commands to go from unpacked tarball to
installed binaries (assuming you have all of the necessary support
libraries and files installed):
./configure
make
make install
mod_dav_svn should get *created* (along with all of the other binaries)
in the second step. ./configure just does a detailed check for
libraries and related files and programs necessary for the actual build
to succeed.
Note that things may not get installed where you expect; I don't know
if mod_dav_svn.so will get put into the "normal" packaged Apache
directory for such modules (/usr/lib/httpd/modules on FC4 I think) or if
it will end up somewhere under /usr/local. You may be better off to
rely on third-party packaged versions of Subversion.

Thanks, Kris. I finally figured out the httpd-devel need and got it
installed. I'm now attempting to reinstall subversion. I'll follow
up with the results. Any idea when mod_dav_svn.so should get created?
It didn't exists after running ./configure. Haven't completed a next
step yet, but I thought I'd ask just to see whether I was on the right
track.

You need a collection of -dev or -devel rpm's then. The Apache dev
files are IIRC in httpd-devel.

For certain values of "non-standard". <g> configure should be able to
find things in their packaged (FHS-standard) locations.

Yep, you're missing the files from the httpd-devel package. yum install
httpd-devel should fix that.

./configure --help usually lists the options you can set - this may be
several screenfuls.

Re: Help Installing on FC4
Posted by Rob Wilkerson <r....@gmail.com>.
Okay, here's what I think is happening:
On my server, httpd (version 2.0.55, by the way) was installed via RPM
so everything is in non-standard locations and I'm getting the error
"skipping the build of mod_dav_svn" while configuring svn. According
to the INSTALL file, that would mean configuring with the with-apxs
flag, but I don't have an apxs file/directory.
What am I missing? Where is apxs supposed to be located? Is it
analagous to something else I should be pointing to? Is there another
flag I should be using instead of with-apxs?
Frustration is starting to get the better of me, so any help would be
greatly appreciated. I can't seem to find a single resource that
identifies all of the ./configure flags that I might use...
