Subversion will not install:

[cpt.maverick@…]

I am attempting to install subversion using macports but I get a configure error because port/subversion can not find Berkeley DB:

''checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no
configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 or newer wasn't found.
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_subversion/work/subversion-1.6.4" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-berkeley-db=:/opt/local/include/db46:/opt/local/lib/db46:db-4.6 --with-neon=/opt/local --with-apr=/opt/local/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/opt/local/bin/apu-1-config --without-apxs --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --disable-neon-version-check --with-serf=/opt/local --with-sasl=/opt/local " returned error 1
''

This looks like a similar error as to the problem that was addressed in ticket #19881, but the problem seems to have arisen again. I have new versions of apr and apr-util:

$ sudo port list apr
Password:
apr                            @1.3.8          devel/apr
$ sudo port list apr-util
apr-util                       @1.3.9          devel/apr-util

Note, 'port list' probably isn't doing what you think it's doing; instead use 'port installed':

$ port installed apr apr-util
The following ports are currently installed:
  apr @1.3.8_0 (active)
  apr-util @1.3.9_0 (active)

The reporter replied via email "You were right, I was using the wrong command *and* had out-of-date copies of apr and apr-util."
