No, subversion 1.1 is too old; FSVS needs at least 1.4.

But for this situation there's an easy workaround: use FSVS' chroot-helper.
See here for details: 
  http://fsvs-software.org/doc/doxygen-gif/group__howto__chroot.html

I got it working on Suse 7.3 (from 2001 or something like that) with a 2.4.21 
kernel by using a debian sarge base install (with debootstrap) (because of 
the 2.4 kernel, which modern glibc doesn't wants), and the 1.4.2 package from 
sarge-backports (http://packages.debian.org/sarge-backports/subversion).

I don't know your machine x86, 32/64bit - if you trust me, I could provide you 
with a chroot tar of my 32bit x86, so you only need to compile the tiny 
chroot-wrapper program on RHEL4.

Hope that helps - at least it's exactly the situation I wrote the wrapper 
for ;-)


Regards,

Phil
