The web browser for the archive blows. But you can get there via http://subversion.tigris.org/ and a billion clicks thru the web archive navigator :-( > What could we be doing wrong?

SVN doesn't attempt to insert that into compiles/links. If APR is putting it in there, and you're seeing a problem with it, well... :-) Note that when libtool does a compile, it is really just a wrapper around GCC and the params that have been defined for it. SVN doesn't do anything complicated because we depend upon APR, yet it sounds like APR is doing something a bit extraordinary in there somewhere. (and not exporting it via APRVARS to its clients) Whatever the case, I have a full set of shared libs and it all works fine. I'm off to bed now, tho... good luck.
