OK. Did all that. I thought if the make buildincludes and make
installincludes could be causing a problem. Doesn't seem so. Here's what is
happening now.

rm -rf /usr/src
rm -rf /usr/obj
rm -rf /usr/include [[Just to be sure]]
cvs -d /home/dcvs checkout src
cd /usr/src
make buildincludes [[success]]
make installincludes [[success]]
make buildworld [[the above exactly as in my first post]]

Is it just 4.7 ?? Should I just upgrade to 4.9 first? Would the from source
method work? I am wondering if these problems would remain. Maybe I am
being superstitious.

Thanks
