subversion-1.6.2 fails with apr-util 1.3.7 due to bdb library issues

[blb@…]

apu-1-config which is installed with apr-util reports the following with the older, 1.3.4, version for libs:

$ apu-1-config --libs
  -ldb-4.6 -lexpat -liconv

The new 1.3.7 version doesn't list the db-4.6 library however:

$ apu-1-config --libs
  -lexpat -liconv

Due to the way subversion uses apu-1-config to learn about linking to Berkeley DB, this causes subversion's configure to now fail:

appending configuration tag "F77" to libtool
checking whether libtool needs -no-undefined... no
checking whether to avoid circular linkage at all costs... no
checking for trang... none
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no
configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 or newer wasn't found.

This also affects the other subversion-* ports. Attaching a patch for subversion which works around this, the same idea should work for the other subversion-related ports.

I think this may be an upstream issue with subversion's configure and the change in apr-util, but am not positive.

I have the latest portfile but building still fails.... From config.log:

I have the latest portfile but building still fails.... From config.log:

Do you have the latest apr (1.3.5) and apr-util (1.3.7) installed?

If so, can you attach the complete sudo port clean --all subversion && sudo port -dv install subversion output?

Thanks.

I get the same problem. I will attach the log you have asked for.

Since this particular issue was solved, I think you are experiencing something else (please open a new bug).

Also, please make sure you have current working versions of your apr/apr-util and bdb ports installed (ie, if you've recently upgraded to 10.6, make sure you've followed the migration guide).
