    I am consistently getting errors while trying to check out/download files from the CVS source tree.  Detail:

    cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.somelib.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/somelib login

    co somelib
        co: RCS/somelib,v: No such file or directory

    co  some0-5
        co: RCS/some0-5,v: No such file or directory

    Suggestions?

      Thanks in advance,

      are you using the -d option when you do the checkouts?  I could understand if you were having problems with loggin in, but to get a successful login and no check out is odd.

      I would definitely recommend the SOMELib tree if you are on Linux because some0-5 is now defunct.

        regarding the "if you are on Linux" comment above, the SOMELib tree will be verified/fixed on other platforms shortly

      Sorry I have been away for so long.  Life is hecktic right now.  I think the problem you are reporting has to do with case sensitivity of cvs.  Try co SOMELib.  You might also need to specify the server even on checkout so I think the full syntax would be:

      cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.somelib.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/somelib login
      cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.somelib.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/somelib co SOMELib

      Hope this helps.

      I was gone for a while and just got back to this...

      Now

      cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.somelib.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/somelib login

      gives me the following error message:

      Unknown host cvs.somelib.sourceforge.net.

      I'll try again later...

        Thanks, and sorry for the delay.

        Let us know.  I've been putting off making a new tarball till we're ready for a beta.  I can't do that until we have a tutorial.  I just haven't been inspired to write one yet.

        For a better response (I don't check this very often), subscribe to the somelib-devel mailing list.
