[Jscheme-user] bug in source download instructions

[Jonathan A R. <ja...@mu...>]

I followed the instructions at
http://jscheme.sourceforge.net/jscheme/doc/userman.html@downloadcvs,
and experienced the following:

    jar@rosebud:~$ cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/jscheme login
    (Logging in to ano...@cv...)
    CVS password: 

    jar@rosebud:~$ cvs -z3:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/jscheme co jscheme
    cvs checkout: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
    cvs [checkout aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
    jar@rosebud:~$ 

Not knowing anything about CVS, I then flailed about:

    jar@rosebud:~$ export CVSROOT=/tmp/cvs
    jar@rosebud:~$ mkdir /tmp/cvs
    jar@rosebud:~$ cvs -z3:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/jscheme co jscheme
    cvs [checkout aborted]: /tmp/cvs/CVSROOT: No such file or directory
    jar@rosebud:~$ mkdir /tmp/cvs/CVSROOT
    jar@rosebud:~$ cvs -z3:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/jscheme co jscheme
    cvs checkout: cannot find module `jscheme' - ignored
    jar@rosebud:~$ 

Can you help?

Thanks
Jonathan
(who is trying to use Jscheme at Millennium Pharmaceuticals for
miscellaneous scripting)

(and by the way, when I tried to run cvs across the company's firewall,
it went south, so I had to do it on my home machine.)
