Oracle Linux is a rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux: that's actually been a sore point between Oracle and Red Hat. So Oracle's version 6 has subversion-1.6.11 in its yum repository. You should be able to just run "yum install subversion" to get the basic clients. If you want more recent versions, Wandisco's and Collabnet's free versions of their commercial software are very good, and have better configurations for servers than the core Subversion packages from RHEL. They're also more sophisticated servers: I've not looked at Collabnet's in some time, but I see that Wandisco includes the tools foor multiple-master Subversoin services, and I say "Yay, yay, thank you for saving me a lot of work" for my next high availability or multi-site Subversion layout.. And if you really need the latest, greatest releases for RHEL and want to play with building, you can look at my RPM building tools at https://github.com/nkadel/. They can be handy if you want to manipulate configurations yourself or explore options or learn about how RPM's are built from source. I don't recommend building from source without at least reading the .spec file from a working SRPM, to review the dependencies and try to get them into your system, not merely compiled locally and haphazardly.
