ffmpeg & svn -- odd issue?

I am attempting to install ffmpeg (also on an intel machine; didn't
see any problems online, but if there are, I'd appreciate the heads
up) and received the error that it needs subversion to download the
source. I installed svn from the Metissian package, and it seems to
work fine. I tested it by downloading the source of ffmpeg myself (svn
checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg). Seemed to get
everything. svn is in /usr/local/bin and that is in the PATH.

When I attempt to install ffmpeg through DP, though, I still get this error:

--->  Fetching ffmpeg
Error: The subversion tool (svn) is required to fetch
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk.
Error: Please install the subversion port before proceeding.
Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: Subversion check out failed
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Any ideas why this is failing. It is like DP doesn't see svn...but as
I said, svn seems to work just fine.

Thanks!
