Subversion with apache

Under http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html

It would be helpful to include a note about Apache Portable Runtime (and 
Utils). I've just spent several hours tracing the following log message:

Can't set position pointer in file '/usr/local/svn/db/revs/1': Invalid 
argument  [500, #22]

Which I eventually solved by recompiling subversion against specific 
apache binary files for apr-1-config and apr-1-util. By default it 
appears to link against version 0 instead of 1, causing the difficulty 
as Apache links against v1.
