You can run ./configure now.
Running
autogen.sh implies you are a maintainer. You may prefer
to run configure in one of the following ways:
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
./configure --disable-shared
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-shared
Note: If you wish to run a Subversion HTTP server, you will need
Apache 2.x. See the INSTALL file for details.

Can you post an example failure that is caused by this, including
package this happens with, commands called, and output copy'n'pasted?
Thanks!
