Hi, I'm very much a virgin when it comes to building applications from
source in Linux, so I may be missing something obvious here ...

I'm trying to follow the documentation at 
http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/manual/c1685.html

Everything goes swimmingly downloading the tarballs (cool name) for
binutils, gcc-core & gdb - until ..

~$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc
~$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
~$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/mspgcc
CVS password: 

pressing enter when prompted for a password results in 

cvs [login aborted]: connect to cvs.sourceforge.net(216.34.181.96):2401
failed: Connection refused
~$ 

then I found - 
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/mspgcc/index.php?title=Building_MSPGCC_from_Source_Code

it's first line at this point is slightly different
export
CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/mspgcc

the login succeeds.
The checkout also succeeds.

Would it be possible to correct the mspgcc.sourceforge page, so that
other newbies like me aren't caught out by it?
or
Would it be better if there were only one procedure for building this
code ?

(Wish me luck, I'm about to continue down this slippery slope ...)

-  
kindest regards,
                Errol Kowald
