Thanks, for getting back to me so quickly and for being right! I just kicked something off and that's a fact! I changed directories to /home/ncvs/src ($CVSUP/src) and then entered make buildworld. Sure enough it started running. I had been running it from /usr/src like the book said to. Is this a needed correction or am I doing something wrong?
