Hi,

I've taken most of the weekend to install Subversion.  Several problems and
solutions:
1. if you want to install into /usr/local/stow instead of plain /usr/local,
you cannot use make install to install the subprojects such as apr,
apr-util, neon, db4.  Do those seperately instead.  Or use the debian
packages for everything but neon.
2. While make install, do this first:
Export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/stow/subversion/lib
Export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/stow/subversion/lib

This worked for me.

3. make swig-py
- had a hard time finding this out.  I didnšt read INSTALL in the
bindings/swig directory :-)
- make sure you already stow'ed subversion before you make install-swig-py


Finally, I downloaded a cvs version of viewcvs, but I get this thrown python
error:
An Exception Has Occurred

Python Traceback 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/viewcvs-1.0-dev/lib/viewcvs.py", line 3037, in main

get_files
    len = file_length(self.root1, self.path1, self.pool)
TypeError: svn_fs_file_length() takes exactly 4 arguments (3 given)

I looked in the code, and indeed, this is the case... File_length() is
giving 3 args, when 4 is expected.

I looked into it, and it looks like the 3rd argument should be a char * of
some sort, not the pool which it is now.  I tried a few things, but not
being a Python expert nor really knowing what I'm doing, I had to give up
:-)

I'm not really familiar with SWIG or Python binding, so I'm stuck.
Hopefully someone out in svn land knows what's going on here.

PS: svn rules.  Good job.

Regards,
