#20760: MacPorts-1.8.0: build from tar ball fails to install on Tiger if default

Comment(by devans@…):
After time to think about this some more, the problem is that the svn
binary being installed by a previous version
of MacPorts, is not in the installer's restricted path.
Configure allows the path to svn to be specified using the environment
variable SVN but doesn't check to see
if it exists.
I suggest that configure be modified to do such a check (perhaps including
the target install prefix) to see
if svn exists and error out if it does not with a message about using SVN
to set where it might be even though
it is not always necessary.
