Is the compilation failing?

Let's see if we can confirm that first. What are the values of $cflags and $Config{ccflags)? Add something like: print "subversion: $cflags \n"; print "perl: $Config{ccflags} \n"; to Makefile.PL and run 'make swig-pl'. Your solution is to compile the extension using Perl's compiler flags rather than Subversion's flags. That will fix any incompatibility between Perl and the extension. What worries me is that it may just move the problem to boundary with Subversion itself. The C code in subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native will be compiled with the Perl compiler flags and so any incompatibility is still present in the calls into the Subversion libraries. It might be better to rebuild Subversion using flags that are compatible with Perl. -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
