Thanks for the patch; it tests out fine.  How'd you like to tackle the two remaining source files that spew the same errors?  Not the slew of wx header files, but the two rapidsvn source files:

hist_mgr.cpp and folder_browser.cpp  (I don't see any others than these two)

I believe the official Gentoo policy is that we don't fix these kinds of errors, since it's an upstream programming issue, but nobody will stop you from submitting another patch :)

You can also adjust your features to allow it to install as-is (I've tested it lightly with my local repo, and it seems to work fine).

ok. i've posted bug report to rapidsvn tracker.
but seems rapidsvn developers to lazy to review it.

[Comment 4 Alexander Huemer 2008-05-18 11:27:51 UTC]

the rapidsvn-sar.patch is listed in the ebuild of rapidsvn-0.9.6-r1, but it is missing in the portage tree. therefor emerge fails.
please add the patch to the tree.

not sure if you wanted the patch included or if you forgot to remove the epatch line.  reopening.

Yeah, the patch is in...  It got dropped on the floor somehow...
