I also get the sources from CVS yesterday and I still have the problem. Another 
thing, I must always use 'cvs co' instead of 'cvs update'. If I use 'cvs 
update', my Headers/Foundation directory is almost empty (I can't remember the 
name of the only one remaining file).

Usually, I make a 'gmake distclean && ./configure && gmake install"

I am using gcc 3.3 from ports.

Anyway, I should precise the bug report as gdnc doesn't want to register itself 
to gdomap.
Yesterday, I installed gdb53 and began to debug make_services but it was late 
and I had to sleep, so I think I'll look at it more precisely tonight (if my 
wife and my kids allow me to play a little with my computer ;-).
