No. If you want to use the whole CVS you should use everything from
cvs. In this case you need lib/djgpp.djl (I think). But you should
really get everything.

(It is possible to selectively pick stuff, but then you shouldn't be
surprised if there are problems; e. g. the one you have right now.)


Right,
