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.
