I have used the INSTALL $ ./configure $ make $ make install
method to successfully build and install subversion from a tar ball for versions from 1.4.x to 1.7.6 on a variety of Centos and Ubuntu platforms. Trying to build version 1.7.6 under Centos 4.9 (Final) and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS resulted in failure due to this same mod_dontdothat issue. After applying Roman's patch, the make was successful on both systems. I'm not astute enough to know if I should go ahead and install 1.7.6 or wait for an "official" solution? ;) Thanks in advance. --
