CVS Error

[Paladin_za]

Hi guys

I'm having an error when I want to download the latest spring source from CVS. Now I am a CVS noob so bear with me.

I managed to do it last week using the help doc from the wiki. This week I get the following error when I try and update the source.

cvs -d :pserver;username=anonymous;hostname=cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/springrts checkout -P -- taspring (in directory C:\Development\SpringRTS)
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv1621
Too many links

Any ideas?

looks to me like you got a semi-colon wrong, should be :pserver: not :pserver;

Having said that I haven't used sourceforge for a few years - last time I used it, they were using ssh authentication, not pserver, so this advice may not help!

Cheers
