Installing SVN on XAMPP?

[WeirdAl]

I'm on Fedora 8, trying to use the XAMPP package to host a few Subversion repositories I've created. Unfortunately, I'm at a loss on exactly how to do that... the various guides I've read aren't helping.

I tried installing mod_dav_svn.so from the Add / Remove Software option, and copying that into /opt/lampp/modules - but when I added the relevant lines to httpd.conf, Apache wouldn't start. So I'm guessing the module isn't compatible. I also wasn't able to add a <Location></Location> directive.

If anyone's willing to help me, I'd appreciate it. Bear in mind I'll probably need a bit of hand-holding, as my expertise is in Mozilla technologies, not Apache.

I'm trying this too, but I got some segmentation fault which takes too much effort to solve to me.

I'm working on building subversion myself now to see how that goes.
