Right.  On a pristine ccvs, I ran ./configure.  Then I ran make and it 
complains and wants to rerun ./configure (see Listing 1).  Go
figure.

BTW, the same thing happens on another Debian 2.2r0 box as well, so it's not 
the box being mis-configured.

Well, I've successfullly built apache, doxygen, graphviz, kerberos, lyx, 
mod_perl, mod_ssl, mysql, php, ssl, ssh, tcl, tk, & wine on
this box without any problems.  I've also built several packages (apache, 
mysql, ssl, ssh, etc.) using 'apt-get --compile source'.
Again, no problems.

At what point?

After ./configure, 'cvs diff -u' reports no changes.

After running make, which reruns aclocal, autoconf, (automake?) and 
./configure, I tried running 'cvs diff -u', but I get
"connection reset by peer".

Huh?  I started with a pristine checkout.  So you want me to...

$ cvs co ccvs
$ ./configure
$ cvs up
$ make

?

Thanks for your help,
