Many of those dependencies are only needed to *compile* svn, not to run it. For example, apache is needed because svn has features that support apache, not because you need apache to use svn, but because when you build svn, that support is compiled at the same time. So if you don't want to *use* the apache pieces, you can remove apache once you have built svn. OTOH, if you did want to use svn with apache, you'd probably have to use fink's apache. You *might* be able to install the fink svn-apache-support files into your existing apache, but I suspect Apple's and Fink's apaches may not be binary-compatible and/or you'll have file/pathname differences (i.e., you're on your own). dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
