Okay, got subversion 1.5.4 installed on 11.0 32-bit The main point was that apr/configure needs to be created via aps/.buildconf, then same for apr-util/configure. To do this, I wildly installed any package with a name close enough to what was requested step by step, from either software.opensuse.org or YaST Software Management. Hope that helps in the future :-) On Fri, 14 Nov 2008 11:33:01 pm Bogdan Cristea wrote:

okay, I got it working with http and https. This is how you install subversion 1.5.4 on openSUSE 11: * get the following sources from http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260&expandFolder=74: o subversion-1.5.4.tar.gz o subversion-deps-1.5.4.tar.gz * extract both into the same directory * remove everything related to SVN via YaST Software Management * make sure openSSL is installed * (there may be other dependencies that do no come with subversion-deps that are required. I've gone through the INSTALL file and tried to get them from http://software.opensuse.org/search or YaST. Neon and APR are part of the subversion-deps, however, so don't worry about these) * clean up old svn stuff: rm -f /usr/local/lib/libsvn* rm -f /usr/local/lib/libapr* rm -f /usr/local/lib/libexpat* rm -f /usr/local/lib/libneon* * installation: sh ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-ssl make make install Hope that helps future non-geeks as well ;-) Diego -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

be advised that openSUSE is an rpm based system and your install has bypassed the rpn database and other installs with overlapping dependencies may have problems and/or your system may become corrupt due to this. Consider the use of "checkinstall" as a replacement for "make install". This app will generate an rpm package and keep the system true. It also provides a much easier uninstall provision if needed.

thankyou for the information/procedure.

Great advice, thanks. I was indeed aware/worried about this but do not have the skills of a linux geek. I'm a simple humble user who get's scared by install procedures like the one I gave earlier ;-) Looking forward to see that 1-Click install for SVN 1.5.4 hopefully soon. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
