Thanks, Ulf - that did it.  It compiled.

I'm just getting started with working on contributing to open source.  What
is the preferred method of keeping all source up to date?  Downloading the
nightly builds and working from that or using the CVS to update
continuously?

Thats a bit of a matter of personal taste. I did the nightly build method for some time (because I was sitting behind a corporate firewall,
which prevents me from using CVS).

But after changing to update using CVS, this saves me *a lot* of time, as the merging between the personal sources and
the CVS is usually done automatically and without much problems.

So I would recommend then to update your sources using CVS.
