Michael,
Maybe you are thinking that it is set but it is not. If you're using "bash" and the command "set" to set it, it does not set the ENVIRONMENTAL variable. To set it use the command "export". Each shell has its own command ("csh" is "setenv"). To avoid this mistake, use the "-d" option telling your CVSROOT as in "cvs -d /backups.save/CVS ...".

I'm trying to setup CVS on a Linux box. I've created the directory for the repository, and set CVSROOT. When I try to import a project, I get the error:
cvs import: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [import aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
Immediately after that, I display the environment variable and get the following
>echo $CVSROOT /backups.save/CVS
Directory CVS *DOES* exist under /backups.save as shown:
> ls -l /backups.save/CVS total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 michael users 48 2004-09-13 08:37 CVSROOT
What am I doing wrong? It appears that CVS is ignoring the CVSROOT environment variable.
