subversion-1.0.2 fails to build:

assigning to myself as I'm the maintainer.

Can you run:

sudo port uninstall subversion sudo port clean subversion sudo port -d -v install subversion

... and then either send me the complete output, or attach it to the bug here so I can see where this might be going wrong?

Could you also let me know what platform you're using and which version of gcc you have selected?

(uninstalling an installed subversion and then attempting to install it might fix things since the subversion build system is a little finicky about installed libraries with the same name as the ones it is building).

I haven't been able to replicate this problem on my machines.

Thanks!

works here for me on 10.3.3 (tested it before commiting, too)

Thank you.

I had a subversion-0.3.7 previously installed, but your suggestion:

sudo port uninstall subversion sudo port clean subversion sudo port install subversion

resolved the problem.

A pristine install would not have triggered the bug. I had tried:

sudo port clean subversion sudo port install subversion

but it wasn't enough.

The unresolved external from the original report are a recent addition, see:

​http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2004-02/0082.shtml

So I guess you are right that an old, installed, version of a library was picked up before the newly built one.

I have marked the bug as FIXED - this sort of problem needs fixing in the subversion Makefiles if at all.
