Thanks Alan. Upon checking the files, I saw the following in /usr/lib/rpm/macros
%_prefix /usr
%_exec_prefix %{_prefix}
%_bindir %{_exec_prefix}/bin
So indeed _bindir has /usr/bin. So this leaves the spec file as the culprit, or
it seems to be.
So far these are the things that has been verified
1. No lacking package
2. _bindir is defined as it should be
Since those two facts are established. I played around with the spec file and
finally got it to rebuild. Below is the patch for the spec file in
rapidsvn-0.9.6-2.rf.src.rpm

I am a little puzzled with my solution because, in my understanding, the
following lines should enable the --with-apr-config and --with-apu-config
options.
%{?el5: %define _with_apr1 1}
%{?el5: %define _with_apu1 1}
I can only guess that bash does not recognize these lines thus failing to
enable the two options. BTW, I forgot to delete those two lines when I created
the patch.
Not only I have a working rapidsvn but this also gave me some additional
knowledge! Thanks very much to all!
