To get back to your question (I didn't see any of the replies address  
this), you probably are missing the cvs package.  A simple "sudo apt- 
get install cvs" will install it for you.

The name of the directory doesn't matter.  I just use ~/xastir here.

As to using sudo vs a root login, it took me a while to get used to  
it, but I no longer mind that.  It has probably saved my bacon more  
than once :^)

I have used Slackware, Red Hat and Debian extensively over the past 12 
+ years (and tried a few more).  I am currently running Ubuntu on two  
machines and OS X (which is based on FreeBSD and also uses sudo) on  
another.  I have been using Xastir for around 8 years.
