Non-root install fails

I'm trying to install svn 1.1.0 rc1 as a non-root user for use in "local
mode."

I'm configuring with:

/configure --prefix=/home/myname/bin --without-berkeley-db
--disable-mod-activation --without-apache --without-httpd

Make install fails with:

cp .libs/mod_dav_svn.soT /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav_svn.so':
Permission denied
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536
 .
make: *** [install-mods-shared] Error 1


Install does not seem to be respecting "prefix."

Per a mailing-list message from 2002, manually removing
"install-mods-shared" from the Makefile allows installation.

Perhaps I missed a --disable or --without flag?


Thanks,
Matt

You might want to try adding --disable-shared.  I've successfully used
the following configure call to build stand-alone client only installs:

./configure --prefix=/home/sfalcon/temp/sw \
    --disable-shared \
    --without-apache \
    --without-apxs \
    --without-berkeley-db \
    --disable-swig-bindings \
    --with-ssl

It's probably overkill, but it worked for me.

Re: Non-root install fails

I got some binaries installed in a non-root dir with just these options:

configure     --prefix=/home/rguthr/subversion \
                 --without-berkeley-db \
                 --disable-shared

I needed static linked binaries so I could just copy them from the build 
location to other machines with a minimum of fuss, but it makes for big 
executables.

That worked okay for me, on both Gentoo and Debian.  (BTW, thanks to
Greg and company for fsfs, which is a lot easier to get working on
non-ideal machines than bdb.)

I just did:

./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db
make
make install
svnadmin create $HOME/svn/my-test-repos --fs-type=fsfs

and started using the test repository

Eek.

Is the error repeatable if you "make clean" then redo the build 
process with no false steps?

What OS, gcc, make, and autoconf versions are you using?
