Hi Gene,

I'll answer this because it's a question specifically about EMC2.
After doing a cvs update, you need to always do a full recompile.  
If you are building for run-in-place, this involves

cd src
./configure --enable-run-in-place
make clean
make
sudo make setuid
cd ..
scripts/emc

EMC2 has had all its security and permissions issues cleaned up and
you should never run it as root.  You should also never run cvs as
root.  Using root when it's not necessary just leads to other 
problems down the road - specifically, ending up with root-owned
files strewn about.

If you continue to have problems building EMC2, please visit the
#emc channel on freenode, or bring the topic to the emc-developers
list on sourceforge.

Regards,
Chris
