Well in your case I'd also pack you a tarball together, but
as you do not have to do the fancy stuff...

To get the cvs. As you mentioned that you built 3.6.24 I
guess you have all other packages to build scid already.

Ok, here we go:
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/scid login
Just press enter when it asks for a password. (We do
anonymous cvs here.) This needs to be done only once!
$ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/scid co -P scid
This will "check out" (co) the whole source tree into a
subdir "scid" of the current working directory. Suppose you
are in $HOME/sourceforge you will get a
$HOME/sourceforge/scid.
$ cd scid
$ export PATH=.:$PATH
$ ./configure ; make
will build it. It can be run via
$ ./scid
Note that you have to set PATH to include the current dir,
otherwise scid will try to load the parts of the old version
installed and will fail to run.
Once new code comes into the cvs just go _into_ this same
directory (cd) and issue
$ cvs update
$ export PATH=.:$PATH
$ make ; ./scid
to get the new version compiled and run it. Suppose you have
a dir $HOME/sourceforge/scid you could easily script the
above:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=.:$PATH
cd $HOME/sourceforge/scid
cvs update
make
./scid
