I tried SVN 1.3 and SVN 1.4 - it would not get through configure.
SVN 1.2.0 worked - but it even spewed some errors - but it worked well enough to get command line svn working - which was all I cared about.
cd
mkdir dev
cd dev
curl -O http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.2.0.zip
unzip subversion-1.2.0.zip
cd subversion-1.2.0
./configure --prefix=`pwd` --without-berkeley-db --with-zlib --with-ssl
make
make install (this failed with an error message)
./subversion/clients/cmdline/svn help (yay)
cd
alias svn=~/dev/subversion-1.2.0/subversion/clients/cmdline/svn
mkdir zap
cd zap
svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/csev/trunk/scripts/ zzz
