Hi,

I think I know the problem. That version of cvd has a bug in it where it 
doesn't compile properly if there are spaces in the filenames. The two 
choices are, either make a directory without spaces in the name from which 
to do the compiling, or get a copy of the latest version of libCVD.

You can get the latest version from the CVS repository. Probably the most 
convenient way is using http://www.tortoisecvs.org/
