I assume you are getting GIMP from anoncvs. The cause of almost all problems with GIMP CVS are two things: - You don't use 'cvs update -Pd'. Dave explained this nicely. - You are getting inconsistent checkouts from the anoncvs servers. There are two or three different servers that you will get when you ask DNS for anoncvs.gnome.org. Unfortunately these aren't necessarily at the same state. The solution is hardcode one, preferably 130.239.18.151 in your /etc/hosts or use the IP address as CVS server hostname. > Them it fails because some windowmanager.png has its name changed to > windowmanagement.png .

What you are describing here is exactly the symptoms of the anoncvs problems. The GIMP CVS tree almost always compiles. It happens very rarely that someone forgets to change all relevant files or omits to checkin a changed file. This stuff is usually fixed very quickly but it is of course possible that the anoncvs server does it's daily update right when the CVS tree was broken. > Is something beyond make distclean needed? You should almost never need to make distclean. I haven't done this for a loooong time now.
