A word of warning: If you grab the nightly tarball, make sure you set LIBRARY_DIR and CONF_PATHNAME to the values in your current version of svndbadmin (which are set during installation).

I have not tried the version from the nightly tarball yet, because I am in the middle of a LONG rebuild and don't want to interrupt it.  (I used the patch from ganaware to get myself going, then saw cmpilato's suggestion of using the nightly tarball.)  So I cannot yet verify if setting LIBRARY_DIR and CONF_PATHNAME is all you need to do.

Michael, will the fix be back-ported to earlier versions (1.1.11 and 1.1.12) or not?  I don't care that much, but was just curious.

Thanks,
David
