Blair, when I made the change it searched PATH for svn and ran that. I think it was jberry who added a ./configure directive to hardcode the path at configuration time, however if it can't find that path I believe it still falls back on searching PATH for it.
This is essentially what the findBinary proc I wrote for (darwin|mac) ports1.0 in my dp2mp-move branch does: it searches an autoconf module for the path to a binary and falls back on the PATH if it doesn't find it there. That functionality is not yet in trunk, however, the whole branch is still in testing (though approaching rc status as of the last days). My approach will not correct Blair's situation either, though, since the svn program is neither in the autoconfiscated location nor anywhere in the path (the port is deactivated). In that case, a nosync flag is the only viable solution I can see, other than removing the syncing file sources feature entirely (or commenting out the source while the sync takes place... or.. any other way of manually avoiding to sync the source in question). -jmpp
