My guess is that you did a manual "hg pull" and/or "hg update"  
*before* doing a "make update".  That's a no-no.  You should only use  
the "hg" commands if you know what you are doing, otherwise use "make  
update".  That's the price to pay for automating a complex bootstrap  
process.  If you are stuck, get the latest release of Gambit, untar,  
"make", "make bootstrap", and finally "make update".  If that doesn't  
work then there's a bug... please report it.
