Hello, Thanks for the help. I tried using apr-config and the configuration went well, however, I got the following error doing the make check:
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status build-outputs.mk:485: recipe for target 'subversion/libsvn_subr/ libsvn_subr-1.la' failed make: *** [subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la] Error 1 What should I Do?
