I found some instructions from J. Taylor on how to install SVN on Bluehost, but they were a bit out-dated. For one, Subversion is now an Apache project and isn’t found on subversion.tigris.org anymore. You can find the project on http://subversion.apache.org/. Other than that, the instructions are great!

mkdir src
cd src
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-1.6.15.tar.bz2
wget http://subversion.tigris.org/downloads/subversion-deps-1.6.15.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-1.6.15.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf  subversion-deps-1.6.15.tar.bz2
cd subversion-1.6.15
./configure --prefix=$HOME --without-berkeley-db --with-ssl LDFLAGS="-L/lib64"
make
make install

Note: I did get one error during the make install process, but it didn’t seem to matter. SVN works great for me.
