maybe it has to do with bdb problems to install it normally? Shall I mask >subversion-1.5 for you?
I'm not sure what you mean about bdb... I've tried subversion-1.5.0 and that also fails in the same way, whereas subversion-1.4.6-r2 was fine. Masking would work so long as 1.4.x is kept around - but I'm intrigued about what could confuse libtool so completely... have any other platforms experienced problems?
oh yeah... on OSX for instance the dso USE flag, which has been made the default, totally rendered it useless at runtime (modules could not be found). AIX needs help regardless... it's such a nice piece of software.
Heh... I've tried again for both 1.5.x versions without DSO or berkdb support (the removal of which does prevent the warnings about linking against multiple versions - so this was obviously a red herring, or a different problem), but the same linker errors still occur. I'll keep looking in to it...
Right - I think I've solved it. If all files named 'so_locations' (which reside in the .libs directories) are removed after the 'compile' step but before the 'install' step, then the merge completes successfully. Apparently: "This happens when the so_locations is reused inappropriately, or not cleared before a rebuild. The so_locations file contains absolute addresses for a shared library. When a library is built for the first time and no so_locations file exists, it is created, and addresses plucked out of the air. If a build occurs and addresses have already been allocated for that library it will reuse those addresses, if the module is bigger that previously allowed for then you will get the error you see." subversion appears to work, but it was built with USE="-dso".
I added dso to package.use.mask in the IRIX profile
