Basically, something is broken while attempting to install SVN module for PHP via “Modules installer” option. To manually install extension follow these steps:

Download the SVN PECL package:
```
wget pecl.php.net/get/svn-1.0.3.tgz
```
Extract the package:
```
tar xzf svn-1.0.3.tgz
```

Run phpize for appropriate PHP version:

/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/phpize

Configure with appropriate PHP configuration:

./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/usr/bin/php-config

Edit the Makefile to add following CFLAGS:
```
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -std=c99
```
Compile and install extension:
```
make
make install
```

Create configuration for SVN extension:

vi /opt/cpanel/ea-php56/root/etc/php.d/svn.ini

and add the following:

; Enable svn extension module
extension=svn.so
