Perhaps my Python installation is also strange. I have attempted to
locate the /usr/lib/python2.4/ directory, but it would seem that the
only place in the filesystem that I can find where Python went is:
/opt/local/bin/python and /opt/local/doc/python/. So I'm not sure where
these would have ended up...

I haven't been able to find any binaries or packages anywhere for these.
So it looks like I'm back to trying to compile from source. I get a
variety of errors all over the place when I try to compile svn from
source, probably half my servers' fault and the other half is mine for
being new to this.
Is there any way to compile *just* the Python bindings from the svn
source? I assume that I just need these lib files and then just drop
them into my Python lib dir (when I find it).
Thanks very much for your insight and assistance. I probably would have
spent a very long time trying to symbolically link these lib files I
thought were the Python libraries to a Python lib directory I couldn't
find. :|
