hi sirs,

with your hints , am now able to checkout as a plain
user and also make with good result.

after reading your mail, i did the following

change permission mode of /home/ncvs to, recursively,
775 (sure i must be root at this point)
add CVSREADONLY=yes to my env. vars.
remove xml from SGML sets
delete /home/manee/tmp/doc

then i, as a plain user,  checkout a whole doc.  no
problem this time.  and the rest is your example
commands given many days ago.  there is not any errors
now.

yes i have removed it.  and make FORMATS="html" run

thanks so much indeed for your kind helps, Giorgos. 
up to this state, i can checkout also src/ from my
local repository and make buildworld series since our
long discussion.

i still have something not understood about cvs and
cvsup but allow me for a few days to summarise a few
important points.
