Hello, I had to install a version of subversion as a loadable module (via environment modules) so it had to be in a non standard directory.
Configuring with the --prefix option works fine except for installing the perl bindings: it wants to install it in the native perl directory not in the 'prefix' subtree because the prefix is not transmitted to the Makefile.PL. Joined is a patch which corrects this (one line modified in Makefile.in). Cheers, Philippe. -- Philippe Poilbarbe CLS, Scientific Softwares (DT/PIL/LS).
