Where (and when) did you get the Lazarus sources from ?
The CF_xxx constants are defined in the lcllinux unit. These constants 
where moved to that unit a week ago, so on older sources you might get this 
error.

If you use the source zips build from cvs you don't neet cvs yet. If you 
want to join us in development or if you want to reduce bandwidth you might 
want to use cvs
