subversion

I am trying to get subversion working on my Fedora Core 1 server and I am having a few problems. From what I have gathered, the easiest fix is to download make and install the DB-4.2 tarball from the sleepycat.com site. I did that, now I am wondering how to get my subversion install to use that library instead of the default 4.1 library that yum installs. BTW, I install subversion using yum.

thanks.

You MIGHT be able to get away with wrappers and LD_PRELOAD (man ld.so for info), but probably the most reliable method would be to just build subversion from scratch, pointing it at your local DB libraries when your configure. I tend to prefer reliability over convenience when it comes to version control…
