Installtion problems on FreeBSD (8)-CURRENT with Subversion

If you tend to install Subversion on FreeBSD you might get the following error.

This is what I get when installing Subversion 1.6.4 on FreeBSD 8 CURRENT.

The fix is quite simple, when you use portupgrade or make install in the ports and it crashes with this error, simply do NOT cleanup the port. Just do the following...

First goto: /usr/ports/devel/subversion/work

Then edit: Makefile

Search for -lkrb5 and add -lhx509 to that line.

That should solve the problem for now. Future port upgrades should fix this...
