Oh, brother. Given the age of your old software, I'm betting that the new software has no packages published on your current operating system, and would involve building a big dependency chain to get it to install. Been there, done that, and I publish my tools for building Red Hat compatible versions of current Subversion packages over at https://github.com/nkadel/. You're welcome to them if you're on a Red Hat based system of at least RHEL 6, in order to build or package Subversion 1.8.5 or less. Otherwise, along with other good advice posted here, be ready to update your entire Linux operating system to get more recent libraries for Apache and for Subversion. In fact, I wouldn't even do it on the same system: I'd start with a clean new system, using "svnsync" to pull updates from the old system until the switchover.
