Scott, thanks for the hints, but I've done that.  :(
I also do a "pwd" just to make sure where I am.
I should have also have said:
I cvsupped to RELEASE 5 yesterday at about 8pm.
I've looked for that file "lib.a" on my HDD, but I can't find it.  I used:
find / -name "lib.a"

Thank you for your quick response, though, Scott, I appreciate it.
Got any more ideas?
Thanks in advance!
James Turnbull
