Description

This bug report comes in 4 sections, BUG, SYMPTOM, WORKAROUND, MY_CONFIG. Enjoy !

*BUG*

In the install scripts:
When compiling and installing subversion-1.2.3,
the final install pass creates circular symlinks instead of copies 
in /usr/local/arp/lib
for:
libaprutil-0.0.9.6.dylib
libapr-0.0.9.6.dylib

*SYMPTOM*

No error report during compile/installation.
The error appears on the first try to run subversion,
with a message that some library (aprutil, or apr) was not found by dydl (apple dynamic linker).

*WORKAROUND*

I just deleted the circular links (mentioned above) and copied the libs manually into place from the 
subversion compile directory, then everything worked fine.

*APPENDIX: MY_CONFIG*

(./configure '--without-apxs' '--without-apache' '--without-berkely-db')
for MacOS X (10.4.3) Server on a PowerBook G4
using gcc-4.0.0 (shipped with Apple XCode 2.0)
