Typically Debian installs libraries that can be used at runtime but not at build-time and to get build-time support you need to install the corresponding -dev package. In this case you need to install libserf-dev. You can use apt-get build-dep subversion to install all the build dependencies used by Debian's own Subversion package. -- Philip
