svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for httpxxxx

Question

Looks like the custom built svn doesn't work for http URLs. After searching online, I understood that I need to install neon libraries which I did. After installing neon when i am building the subversion it fails at make. I tried clean and again make, still have issue. Nothing has changed except the installed version of subversion is still existed at /usr/local/subversion. Any idea how to move forward?

You don't seem to have Berkeley DB version 4.0.14 or newer
installed and linked to APR-UTIL.  We have created a Makefile which will build
Subversion without support for the Berkeley DB back-end.  You can find the
latest version of Berkeley DB here:

  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html

or explicitly specify --without-berkeley-db to silence this warning.

@Doon From where I can install serf, do I need to rebuild the subversion after installing serf? — user1595858, Jul 11 '13 at 19:12
There *should* be a libserf or libserf-devel rpm floating around. And use you would need to rebuild Subversion and tell it to include serf. But based on your config line I don't see anything "custom", so @alex_hha answer below would probably work as well. — Doon, Jul 12 '13 at 01:58
I already using the built one and apache is using its module, now if i install rpm it will mess up everything i believe. — user1595858, Jul 12 '13 at 06:07

You compiled Subversion without serf library used for HTTP/HTTPS protocol: http://serf.apache.org/

Specify serf library location using --with-serf configure option.

You could try to use binary package from http://opensource.wandisco.com/centos/5/svn-1.8/RPMS/x86_64/ if you don't need any specific configuration options
