It means you copied the files (extracted from a tar.gz?) before trying to get them from CVS? Try deleting the directories and getting from CVS again. -Rob ... ...

I guess I am not understanding. If I follow the instructions on the website, it is going to install a brand new copy of sbbs. Will this overwrite my current...

Ok. In step #2 for running gmake, do I need to add "JSLIB=mozjs" to the gmake command-line for updating? My system does not have libjs.so but it does have...
Try using the libjs.so included in sbbs_src.tgz first (do not specify JSLIB=anything on your gmake comamnd-line). Did you try that? -Rob ... From: Ray Eason ...
