Hi Horacio,

it seems you have been downloading the old GRASS 5 code. Using CVS, you
have to specify the release_branch while downloading.

See here for details:
http://grass.itc.it/grasscvstags.html

 cvs -z3 checkout -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0 grass 
 cvs up -dP

Eventually you have missed that?

Best regards
