I would use cel, but that's out of date. cel-cvs fails to compile, and I'm not sure why: besides the fact that it can't see some headers, and looks to have some bad syntax issues. I'm using gcc 3.3.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. (fix ECVS_SERVER to equal "cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cel" ) 2. emerge cel-cvs 3. compile fail. Actual Results: (Too many errors to count...) ...failed updating 38 target(s)... ...skipped 25 target(s)... ...updated 53 target(s)... Expected Results: Clean compile.

Please paste the output of the compile failure.
Created attachment 43961 [details] cel-cvs fail. Here's the errors (it's just a dump of 'emerge cel-cvs'), since it uses Jam, it doesn't just fail and stop, it fails and keeps going, so you'll see every compile error, and there are quite a few. Enjoy.
cvs stuff should be fine now
