Curt, thanks for your help. I must be doing something wrong because after I do a cvs update, when I run make, it seems to recompile *everything* (which is of course very time consuming). It must touch all the cxx files or something for that to happen, even if they have not changed. I'll see if I can figure out why this is happening.
