I have tried everything I can think of, and I can't seem to get svn to build with the zlib that comes with it. It's always linking against /usr/lib64/zlib.
./configure --prefix=/scratch/eharvey/svn --with-zlib=/scratch/eharvey/subversion-1.6.12/zlib --enable-static After build: ldd `which svn` | grep libz libz.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00000034a6900000) Perhaps I should set something like INCLUDE_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH before building it? Also, if I enable-static, shouldn't it be internal, shouldn't ldd show me nothing? Here's the reason why I care: The default zlib compression is 5. I edited deflate.c to change this to 1. I would like to know how much difference there is. Thanks...
