Installing Subversion, Cannot Find -lexpat

I just can't seem to get subversion installed for apache 2.2

I tried now for 3 days and this is most common error i get. I get this while having the src for apr, apr-util, neon and zlib in the install dir. I also get it when i only have the neon package in the dir, and use the --with-apr arguments on the configure.

I have tried deleting the lib.so files (in /usr/local/lib/) and then running the autogen.sh

All no luck, this what i get:

cd subversion/svn && /bin/sh /downloads/subversion-1.4.5/libtool --tag=CC --silent --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -g -O2 -pthread -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -DNE_LFS -rpath /usr/local/lib -o svn add-cmd.o blame-cmd.o cat-cmd.o checkout-cmd.o cleanup-cmd.o commit-cmd.o copy-cmd.o delete-cmd.o diff-cmd.o export-cmd.o help-cmd.o import-cmd.o info-cmd.o list-cmd.o lock-cmd.o log-cmd.o main.o merge-cmd.o mkdir-cmd.o move-cmd.o notify.o propdel-cmd.o propedit-cmd.o propget-cmd.o proplist-cmd.o props.o propset-cmd.o resolved-cmd.o revert-cmd.o status-cmd.o status.o switch-cmd.o unlock-cmd.o update-cmd.o util.o ../../subversion/libsvn_client/libsvn_client-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_wc/libsvn_wc-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_ra/libsvn_ra-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_delta/libsvn_delta-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_diff/libsvn_diff-1.la ../../subversion/libsvn_subr/libsvn_subr-1.la /downloads/subversion-1.4.5/apr-util/libaprutil-1.la /downloads/subversion-1.4.5/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la -liconv /downloads/subversion-1.4.5/apr/libapr-1.la -luuid -lrt -lcrypt -lpthread -ldl /downloads/subversion-1.4.5/neon/src/libneon.la -lz
