First of all, I'm aware of this answer, yet as it's quite vague, it didn't help me solve my problem.
I'm working on CentOS machine and as current subversion package is quite old, I needed to compile svn by myself. I've managed to do that, but trying to use one of commands I need, which is:
$ svnsync initialize [...] [...]
Resulted with the following error:
svnsync: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for '[url here]'
After some research, I found that I need serf to make it work, so I've installed it by using yum install libserf (I'm not sure if it's it, but name and description sound similar to what I need). Unfortunately, nothing has changed and I later came to a conclusion that maybe I need to recompile svn with serf in place.
I've downloaded subversion source and ran ./configure. Here is the output of it associated with serf:
configure: serf library configuration via pkg-config
checking for serf-2 library... no
checking for serf-1 library... no
checking was serf enabled... no
An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please
install serf 1.3.4 or newer.
There is an argument called --with-serf, but I'm not sure how should I use it. Linking to location of serf binaries, like that:
$ ./configure --with-serf=/usr/lib64/
results with the following output:
configure: serf library configuration via pkg-config
checking for serf-2 library... no
checking for serf-1 library... no
checking was serf enabled... no
An appropriate version of serf could not be found, so libsvn_ra_serf
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_serf, please
install serf 1.3.4 or newer.
configure: error: Serf was explicitly enabled but an appropriate version was not found.
Can you give me some hints on how can I proceed with this?
