Hi Frank,
Some problems I have experienced downloading from the tarball and CVS:
a) When you checkout OpenSees directly (not from tarball) from the repository, CVS has problems updating OpenSees/win32/proj/ParallelOpenSeesManyInterpreters (privileges problems). Because of this when you download OpenSees from the cvs repository you do not get the other win32/proj/ directories and files. Then the solution project can't find them.
b) Obviously if you first get OpenSees from the tarball it works, but, then you have problems updating from the cvs repository. The question is how to convert the tarball files into a working cvs sandbox. The instructions in the OpenSees website seem to be outdated.
c) The solution project currently in the tarball (for version 1.7.5) links LIFIFCORE.lib and not LIBIFCOREMT.lib. Both libraries are there though.
Hope this helps.
