Since I could not find a binary for SuSE SLES 11 on zVM, I am attempting to compile it from scratch by doing a './configure....' and then 'make'. Wow, what a mess. I must be missing some trick or knowledge. Has anybody done this? And, if so, would you have any advice for all the 'pre-installed software package requisites' that is required? By this I mean as an example the following scenario: 1. I issue './configure...' to configure Subversion. './configure...' stops and tell me that the configure/make for 'zlib' had errors. I 'cd' to the zlib directory and issue a ./configure. Seems good. I do a make. It seems good as well. 2. So we are back at the './configure...' for Subversion. Subversion stops, telling me that 'Serf' has erred on it's './configure'. 'Serf' is missing an 'APR' type package. I down load and untar it. I 'cd' to this APR package lib. I issue ./configure/make and for this package, it seems to have gone well. So we are now back at the 'Serf' ./configure/make. I do the ./configure manually. Looks good. I do the 'make'. It seems good. 3. Once again, we are back at the Subversion level. I continue on with the './configure' All seems well. 4. Let's say for arguments sake I have completed the './configure...' without too many errors, at least none that are critical (I think). Now I key in the 'make'. Package missing. I download the package and untar it. I 'cd' to it's directory. I do the './configure'. Errors. Needs 'x-package-of-some-sort'. I download it. Go thru the procedures shown above, you know, the configure/make process. 5. I finally get back to the Subversion 'make' process again. We begin where it erred off before. etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. Do you get my drift? It just seems like I'm spinning my wheels. I've already installed all that the Subversion documents told me before I even began, and yet, there are still many, many more packages that I find out about while going through the ./configure...' and build processes, since as I established before, there are no binaries that I can find for Subversion, on SuSE SLES11, on zSeries. I've got to be doing something wrong, yes? HELP!!!! :-) I don't really know whether I am on the correct path and I just need to have patience and see it through, or?Any help or guidance would be so appreciated.
