You should pass --disable-mod-activation to subversion's configure script. The build system is trying to modify your existing apache2 installation to load the mod_dav_svn you installed. I'd recommend configuring apache manually instead. Allowing the Subversion build to tweak configuration files in /etc is a bad idea, because it can interfere with your existing Apache setup, and with the way your distribution is managing /etc. Stefan
