svn / Apache installation question

["Cooke, Mark" <ma...@siemens.com>]

Folks,

I use apache to host subversion and all seems to be working.  However, I
happened to read the TortoiseSVN help file this morning and noticed the
following:

4. Copy the file /bin/libdb*.dll and /bin/intl3_svn.dll
   from the Subversion installation directory to the
   Apache bin directory. [1]

I checked and these files are not in the apache bin directory but
nothing seems broken!  Is this advice incorrect / out-of-date or is
something broken that I have not noticed yet?

Many thanks for any insights,

I think that if the Subversion/bin directory is in your PATH environment
variable,
you can skip the copy, since the DLLs will be found in svn/bin when it is
needed by Apache.

I'm not sure but i think this should only be necessary if you doesn't 
have the subversion/bin in your search path.
