Problem: /usr/pkg is the prefix for all of my normal 3rd party software I want installed to use the computer for "normal" use. This includes a geda installation as well as guile, gtk, etc. Building the CVS version now picks up things like -I/usr/pkg/include for various dependencies, but now I can pick up an old libgeda. Solution: Create a chroot sandbox for cvs work. Now I can isolate the work environment completely from my normal setup. -Dan --
