The problem appears to be with the apache in /opt/apache2

You are building with +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn

That variant is unsupported. You may be able to fix your apache2 install (as it appears to be broken), but I would advise you to use the macports-provided apache2 instead.

[henuyken@…]

This subversion install and all its dependencies were MacPorts intalls, including Apache2. If MacPorts was building with +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn it was configured to do so. I monitored the process and MacPorts installed its own version of apache2. I did not alter any of it. Could MacPorts have a problem with the stock install of apache2 on 10.5?

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

The log you posted clearly indicates the selection of +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn - this does not get selected by default, you must have selected it at some point in time.

From the log you posted: Executing: /opt/local/bin/port install subversion +bash_completion +darwin_7 +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn +mod_dav_svn +no_bdb +no_neon +tools +unicode_path

The log also indicates that the apache2 install being built against is in /opt/apache2 which is not the macports-provided apache location (but it is the one that that variant attempts to use).

I recommend cleaning subversion and building again without +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn:

port clean --all subversion port -dv install subversion

You are correct. I was using Porticus GUI late at night and was not paying close enough attention. Thanks for the reply.
