If you would like to compile the latest trunk source of subversion then follow these steps (I assume you are using Debian Etch or Ubuntu Feisty Fawn):

Step1: Get the subversion trunk source using the following command

$ svn co http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk

Step2: Install these packages in your machine if it is not present already

$ sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev

Step3: Download the dependency packages. You can get the dependency packages from here http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.4.4.tar.gz

Step4: After untarring the file downloaded in Step3, copy all the folders inside the checked out trunk folder

Step5: Then what?

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/svn
$ make; make install

Enjoy the latest subversion!

Hello Senthil,

It fails when it is configured with --with-ssl.
$./configure --with-ssl
One needs to have openssl installed in the system path.

There is a lot of configuration options as you can see from ./configure --help, I attempted to explain howto compile subversion with the minimal stuff.
