    I usually follow the instructions here for installing/upgrading:

    http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix

    One thing I ran across that messed with me was this:

    Using CVS, you can wget GNUmakefile and use gmake to compile/install.

    Using Non-CVS, you have to grab the files, run gmake in a few of the
    folders to compile/install.

    Apparently I had used the CVS option above for the initial install and
    later used the "Updating" instructions at the bottom of the page.

    Typically I do a debug build, but I didnt realize:

    CVS method make default is to build release version.

    Non-CVS/Updating method, the make default is to build the debug version.

    Anyways, I guess i need to pay more attention, but it did throw some
    confusion in my update process.

    Thanks!
