Javacvs library on linux

Hi javacvs developers!

I am trying to use javacvs library to execute cvs commands in a
standalone-java application (outside netbeans ide). I find that the same
command works on Windows but fails with a initialization error in linux (see
below). I undertand this to be a problem in the way Timezone is defaulted in
the ModTimeResponse handler. I am using the latest stable release (4.0). Is
there a build available after this one that I can use? If not, can you point
to me a document / URL that will help me build the javacvs from source? I
was unable to find any information on http://javacvs.netbeans.org. I
apologize if this is a wrong group to post such questions to. I would
appreciate if you can point to the right one if it is the case.
