kdesvn - adept/apt-get want to install libsvn0

Hello,

I've installed apache 2.2.4 and subversion 1.4.3 according to the build from source tutorial at David Winter's site: http://davidwinter.me.uk/tags/subversion/

Instructions were great and install went quite smoothly. I can run all the svn command line args and I can access my repo's from apache2.

But now I'd like to install any of the various subversion clients - most notably kdesvn but when I select that package for installation, whatever method I choose, (apt-get or any of the graphical package managers), libsvn0 gets installed.

This causes a conflict with the "installed from source" version since the current libsvn0 version is 1.3.2.

Is there a way to install kdesvn and have it recognize the currently installed subversion version?

Thanks,
Joe

i think you can install it with a --force option, or a --nodeps option.

Also take a look at 'checkinstall', it's a replacement voor 'make install'. this application creats a .deb package (or .rpm on other systems) wich you can install with dpkg or apt.
That way you avoid system inconsistencies caused by stuff you compile.

after installing kdesn, it should find the needed svn libraries, assuming that they are located in the standard path.
