I've installed svn 1.8.0 from source using makefile and then remove svn 1.6.3 with yum.

What I did:

downloaded and untar svn1.8.0
./configure
make
make install
yum remove subversion
httpd restart
svn --version

Everything went fine, but when I do svn --version, it is version 1.6.3

It there a way to replace the old svn version installed from yum?

I'm using centos 5.9 with cpanel installed.

Update

I just saw I have 2 version installed. One in /usr/local/bin and one in /usr/bin. How can I change the default one?

Use "rpm -e subversion" or "rpm -e svn". This will remove the installed rpm version of svn. And then install svn from source.
