I have noticed that there is no static library libneon.a in the default openSuSE 11.1 distribution. Compiling neon from sources as static library generates both libneon.a and libneon.la
The static version isn't needed, it's just an error/bug in the subversion source configuration. Had you unpacked a recent openSUSE .src.rpm and looked into subversion.spec you'd have seen that one of the patches we apply is subversion-1.5.x-no-neon-la.patch that contains:
- NEON_LIBS=`$neon_config --la-file` + NEON_LIBS=`$neon_config --libs`
So edit build/ac-macros/neon.m4 and make the same change and you should be able to compile subversion 1.5.5.
As a general rule: before complaining that openSUSE lacks something for compiling a package that we also provide, please look into the spec file of our .src.rpm. Chances are rather good that our source RPMs contain patches that fix the problem.

Actually openSuSE provides subversion, but usually is not the latest release. I'll post on the subversion forum this message, see if this could be fixed in the next releases of svn. thanks -- Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
