I would save yourself the heart-ache and install a precompiled cvsup binary. I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but it's unlikely that many folks will look into this one when such an easy work-around exists. If you want to install it from the ports tree, it's cvsup-bin in the net category. Otherwise, there should be a package on your CDs. Much easier. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
