Er....  do a cvs update -P

It's a new directory.  If you try to fudge the way you did, you'll have 
problems.  And did.  So do an rm -rf of your rtree directory, do a 
cvs update -P, bootstrap again and all should be well.

In fact, instead of doing "cvs update" routinely, it's probably better 
to do 
  cvs update -dP
which will delete files that have been removed from the repository and add
new subdirectories.  Don't know why cvs defaults to not doing either.

> When doing the cvs update, there was no sign of the rtree files.

If you don't have 
  update -d -P
in your .cvsrc file, then by default when you do an update new directories
won't be updated.  You have to specify -P yourself, in that case.
I put this line in my .cvsrc to guard against such problems.
