Then you must run :
[[
./configure --prefix={The directory where you want to install TeXmacs}
]]

, otherwise, 'make install' will not work.

I forgot this one. The value of CVSROOT should be :
[[
CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/texmacs
]]

Thus (if you are a bash user), in your .bashrc, you could add the following
two lines :
[[
CVSROOT=':pserver:address@hidden:/texmacs'
export CVSROOT
]]

, and similar lines in the appropriate "rc" file if
you use another shell.

Another (perhaps easier way) is to pass the value
directly as a parameter of 'cvs login', like this:
[[
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/texmacs login
]]

Yes, it's the CVSROOT variable or the '-d' parameter which carries on
this information...
