Installation of subversion 1.2.3 failed at serf

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Team,

I am trying to install subversion-1.2.3 in redhat linux server.After the 
configure command i have run the make command
in the mean it is getting failed at the step of making all in serf.

I have attached the error text file. please look into that.
The configure command which i have passed for subversion installation is as 
follows:

./configure --prefix=/opt/Programs/subversion-1.6.3 
--with-apache-libexecdir=/opt/Programs/apache/modules 
--with-openssl=/opt/Programs/openssl-0.9.8zc 
--with-zlib=/opt/Programs/zlib-1.2.3/

using the zlib1.2.3 version

Thanks,
Bujji

Looks like make can't find zlib.h, are you sure that your zlib installation 
folder also contains the include files?

yes it contains the zlib.h, i think it is looking for 
buckets/deflate_buckets.lo buckets/deflate_buckets.c && touch 
buckets/deflate_buckets.lo.. I can see there is no such file called 
deflate_buckets.lo in serf package(/serf/buckets).I can see there is a file 
called deflate_buckets.loT in buckets.

It looks like you are trying to build Subversion 1.6.3.

In Subversion 1.6 the serf support was *very experimental*, and you should 
really use neon with this version of Subversion. (Even for Subversion 1.7 I 
would recommend neon, as there were many, many bugs fixed for 1.8)

If you really must use Subversion 1.6, I would recommend using Subversion 
1.6.23 instead of 1.6.3... But if at all possible, please use Subversion 1.8 or 
1.7 as 1.6.x is out of support for more than a year.

I'm guessing your zlib directory is not in the form expected by the legacy serf 
buildscripts. Perhaps it looks in an include directory, or something.

All recent versions of serf use 'scons' as build engine, which don't support a 
configure command at all.
