When you're using GNU autoconf (configure), the "--prefix" option stands for
the installation destination prefix, not the header include prefix. You'll
need to type "./configure --help" to find out the correct parameters to use.
All of this is moot, because on FreeBSD, there is very little need to
compile large stuff like this: it's all in the packages collection. To
install stuff from packages, just use sysinstall - it's the easiest. If
you're using sysinstall from -stable, you may need to change the release
name from 4.2-STABLE to 4.2-RELEASE in the options screen.
as regards cvs login, if it's hanging, it's probably a firewall thing.
Whether or not firewalls will pass cvs traffic depends on the individual
firewall configuration.
