OS X Build confusion

[Jeremy Wechsler <je...@xb.com>]

When building subversion on OS 10.3, I follow the following steps:

1) Downloaded clean sources of apr, apr-util, swig, and neon, along 
with subversion
2) Installed them in /usr/local/src, with appropriate symbolic links 
for each (apr -> apr-0.94.1, etc)
3) sh ./autogen.sh
4) ./configure
5) make
6) sudo make install

These commands occasionally produce warnings, but they all complete 
without error.  However, when attempting to run subversion, say with:

svn co svn:://mysourceurl

I get everyone's favorite error,
svn: Bad URL passed to RA layer
svn: Unrecognized URL scheme: "svn://mysourceurl"

Now, this is nominally because the neon library can't be found, right? 
but it lives in /usr/local/lib in both static and dylib versions.  
libtool and apple's linker are supposed to encode the path into the 
reference anyway, so I don't believe it has to do with the setting of 
environment vars like DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (setting it explicitly makes no 
nevermind anyway).

I'd wait for fink to add it to the unstable branch, but I'm advocating 
a migration from Clearcase, fueled in part by developers wanting to 
work on their OS X laptops and there's some time pressure here.  While 
I suspect I'm not alone, I'm also not part of a huge mob :)  Any advice 
from those who have successfully build subversion under OS X without 
fink gratefully accepted.

Quite so.  I was pulling info from my notes, not my console.  Those 
errors were from an earlier attempt, where I foolishly attempted to use 
the -with-(lib) directives to configure.  While I'm not sure why I went 
down that road eight hours ago, a hand delete of every library and any 
matching libraries from fink, a fresh build of .32 works without 
incident.  Lovely and thanks for dropping me a line so quickly.

I'm guessing this is not what you actually typed, since the "::" in your
example would produce a different error message.

This is also unlikely.   Could you please report *exactly* what you
command you ran, and *exactly* what the error message was?

No, unless you were only kidding when you said "svn:".  ra_svn doesn't
use neon.   What does "svn --version" say?

--ben
