Error Installing : subversion +bash_completion +mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn

[Bill Hernandez]

I tried to accessing subversion on a machine running OS X SERVER  
10.4.x (latest 10.4 version) and ran into a couple of errors related  
to something called 'neon'.

( 1 ) I had installed 'CornerStone svn client' yesterday tried on my  
workstation.
( 2 ) Setup a repository on my local machine, which worked fine.
( 3 ) Modified the apache2 virtual host conf file to allow WebDav over  
SSL on port 8443
( 3 ) Tried to create the repository using the client, using :

'https://www.example.com:8443/svn/repository'

as the path, but kept running into an error, so today I looked at the  
server and did a $which svn, and to my surprise found there wasn't any.

On the Leopard machine that I am using, just for grins, I also tried :

[2009.28.03](01:40PM) -> [roscoe] ~ $ which svn
/usr/bin/svn

and sure enough, it finally became clear why I couldn't access the  
server using the client. Cornerstone worked fine with a repository on  
my local machine, but not on the server. I didn't realize OS X Server  
10.4 didn't have subversion installed, silly me.

Anyway, MacPorts to the rescue, I tried installing subversion using  :

$ sudo port install -v subversion +bash_completion 
+mac_os_x_server_mod_dav_svn

below, but ran into a couple of errors during the install.

Any ideas ?
