Thanks Philip for the help. I looked in the config.log file and found

Sure enough, I am running CentOS and want to use the client side of Subversion to access repositories via https. I tried installing APR 1.4.8 to see if it would work better with Serf. wget http://mirror.reverse.net/pub/apache//apr/apr-1.4.8.tar.bz2 tar -xf apr-1.4.8.tar.bz2 cd apr-1.4.8 ./configure --prefix=/home/mschuh/local make install This time, the configure script worked. I tried a build Subversion 1.8.0 again and ran into another error /bin/sh /home/mschuh/src/subversion-1.8.0/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=compile gcc -std=c89 -I/home/mschuh/local/include -DLINUX -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -g -O2 -g -O2 -pthread -I./subversion/include -I./subversion -I/home/mschuh/local/include/apr-1 -I/usr/include/apr-1 -I/home/mschuh/local//include/serf-1 -I/home/mschuh/src/subversion-1.8.0/sqlite-amalgamation -o subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.lo -c subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c In file included from /home/mschuh/local/include/apr-1/apr_strings.h:52, from ./subversion/include/svn_types.h:40, from ./subversion/include/svn_pools.h:33, from subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:28: /home/mschuh/local/include/apr-1/apr_want.h:95: error: redefinition of 'struct iovec' In file included from /home/mschuh/local/include/apr-1/apr_file_io.h:29, from ./subversion/include/svn_io.h:38, from ./subversion/include/svn_config.h:37, from ./subversion/include/private/svn_cache.h:37, from subversion/libsvn_subr/cache.h:27, from subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:32: /home/mschuh/local/include/apr-1/apr_file_info.h:192: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'apr_ino_t' subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c: In function 'drop_entry': subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:656: error: 'APR_UINT32_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:656: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:656: error: for each function it appears in.) subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c: In function 'insert_entry': subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:725: error: 'APR_UINT32_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c: In function 'ensure_data_insertable': subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:1018: error: 'APR_UINT32_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c: In function 'svn_cache__membuffer_cache_create': subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.c:1243: error: 'APR_UINT32_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function) make: *** [subversion/libsvn_subr/cache-membuffer.lo] Error 1 Any suggestions on what to do next? Am I close or way far from succesfully compiling Subversion? Is there an older version of subversion that might with the older apr library? I want to run "svn co https://svn.xxx.com/repository"; and such. Thanks, Michael
