Should I see individual files being transferred? I > am not FWIW. Two possible problems, one is that you're starting up the old version still. The second is that you need to run "./bootstrap.sh" before "configure" if you're updating from CVS. That creates a brand-new "configure" for you among other things, then "configure" builds brand-new Makefiles for you. To successfully run bootstrap.sh you'll need autoconf and automake installed (developer tools, but not particularly large ones). ------------------------------ Thanks for the reply Curt. As mentioned in my original message, with the second attempt, I did also perform the bootstrap, configure, and make routines. I still ended up with a "newer" 1.98 xastir executable. And that is the only xastir executable on the system under /usr/ . I suspect that there is one under the ~xastir/src directories too, but I know that I am calling /usr/local/bin/xastir. Regarding the CVS update process. I suspect that may be part of the problem. I did not see any files being transferred. I am guessing that ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries is the log of what happened with the CVS update? If it is, I can tell you that there are no entries newer than 22 March 2010. The date of both the ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries and ~xastir/src/CVS/Entries.Log files is today, but no updated information inside. I know that there have been significant updates since 1.98, so that is why I am puzzled. Or, have I assumed FAR too much. MUST I do a complete re-install to move up to 1.99? I have assumed that a CVS update and re-compile would get me there.
