Randolf,

For info see
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/scigraphica/
   < click here on  "CVS" for CVS-info >

But in a nutshell:

I suppose you have CVS installed, then you do the following:

$ setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs.scigraphica.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/scigraphica

(this is for tcsh; do the export-thing if you're using bash)

$ cvs login

(when asked for a password, hit the Enter key) 

$ cvs co sg

(this will pull in the whole SciGraphica CVS in sg/ directory)

$ cvs logout

(done)

-----------------------

The above you only need to do once the very first time.
Once done, all you need to do for keeping your sg directory
up-to-date, is this:

$ cd sg
$ cvs update

(that's dead easy, isn't it)

------------------------------

Now comes the compiling part. Do this:

$ cd sg
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure

(configure is a bit tricky, since you may need to give it the
appropriate flags, to tell it about specific features of you
system, such as where it can find certain files and libraries;
do "./configure --help" for more info)

$ make

----------------------------------

That's all.
If certain steps fail, please send the error mesages to the
mailing list and certainly I or someone else can point out to you
how to fix it.

I hope this helps you stay in touch with CVS.

Regards,
Rob.

PS: Once you understand all the steps above, you could write it up
    in a short manual section on "how to install SG from CVS" :).
