Hey guys, I'm trying to install SVN on CentOS 5. Unfortunately a simple yum install isn't going to work (afaik) because I'm using the DirectAdmin control panel.

When it comes to running 'make' I get this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lexpat

I'm new to installing things without yum (!) so am a bit lost. Do you have any advice on how to get past this hurdle?

Just to give a little more context to the error;
