Then it must be something I did wrong (duh!). Which method do you use to pull the sources down from CVS? I used "CVSup xfree86.cvsup" and this is the contents of my xfree86.cvsup: --- *default release=cvs host=anoncvs.xfree86.org base=/home/mylesg/cvs_xfree86*default prefix=/home/mylesg/xfree86_head delete use-rel-suffix*default compress *default tar=. xc-all doctools-all --- *sigh* maybe I'd better go back and re-read the directions and examples...
