Thanks for you help.  Yup, looks like you need libsvn-dev too.   

In my case I'm running the backports version of subversion (to fix an 
issue we were seeing with svn 1.5).  This means I need to install 
libsvn-dev from backports and it wants to install/upgrade half a dozen 
other things .... I'm not sure I want to go there.   I might need to do 
the build on a non-production server somewhere.  

<sigh> ... oh well  ... the joys of running Debian stable. :(

I was trying to do the build running "make".  The errors were a little 
cryptic and didn't give much indication of what else was required.
