Bug in svn 1.6.2 configure

[Dennis <de...@infologika.com.br>]

Dear Sirs

Congratulations for subversion and thank you very much for providing it 
to all of us.

I'd like to report a bug, I think my analysis is correct, please read on.

I have apache 2.0.52 along with apr 0.9.17 and apr-util-0.9.15, which 
are the right correct versions (and working).

wher I run configure I get:
 error: Apache version incompatible with APR version

Checking around line 7181 of configure I see it seaches for the string:
    AP_SERVER_MINORVERSION_NUMBER
in
    /usr/include/httpd/ap_release.h

but no such string exists. The string that does exist is:
    AP_SERVER_MINORVERSION

and the version number is in quotes: "0"

Pasted bellow is part of the ap_release.h file.

 32 #define AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "Apache"
 33 #define AP_SERVER_MAJORVERSION "2"
 34 #define AP_SERVER_MINORVERSION "0"
 35 #define AP_SERVER_PATCHLEVEL "52"
 36 #define AP_SERVER_MINORREVISION AP_SERVER_MAJORVERSION "." 
AP_SERVER_MINORVERSION
 37 #define AP_SERVER_BASEREVISION  AP_SERVER_MINORREVISION "." 
AP_SERVER_PATCHLEVEL
 38 #define AP_SERVER_BASEVERSION AP_SERVER_BASEPRODUCT "/" 
AP_SERVER_BASEREVISION
 39 #define AP_SERVER_VERSION  AP_SERVER_BASEVERSION

May be this changed in newer apache versions, but considering apache  
2.0.52 configure has 2 flaws:
1) It does not check for the right string
2) It will not accept quotes around the version number

Thank you again,

Dennis Felippa

Same problem here on RHEL4. This seems like a reasonable patch to the configure script.
