What is the simplest way to install a private subversion repository on a Linux server - specifically a bluehost shared server?

Apache version 2.2.13 (Unix)

PHP version 5.2.9

Architecture x86_64

Operating system Linux

Commands welcome....

A: 

without shell access that's gonna be fugly (if memory serves bluehost doesn't give you shell access). You will need to edit apache's config which you may not be able to do. I suggest you contact Bluehost support.

bluehost does grant ssh access on a shared box if you verify your identity with a license or passport

As wcoenen pointed out, this should be on serverfault.com and the answer I was looking for is the accepted answer at http://serverfault.com/questions/59783/simple-code-to-install-a-subversion-repository-on-a-linux-server/

I found a great solution at http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?s=855d68319128c0db09b4d88e844287c0&t=12099&page=3 except the most recent version right now is 1.6.5

mkdir src
cd src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.5.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.5.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-1.6.5.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-deps-1.6.5.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.5
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install
