CVS update not working

Hi, I am new to CVS so please bear my stupid questions. I downloaded the CVS tree a few days ago following the directions on the website. Today I tried to update my cvs tree by issuing the command as specified on the http://cvs.php.net/ page. This is what I am doing the error that I am getting: [dev1.jpons]~/php-cvs> cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login (Logging in to cvsread@cvs.php.net) CVS password: [dev1.jpons]~/php-cvs> cvs -z3 update -d cvs update: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable. What am I doing wrong? Ot seems I am using the -d option as the error message suggests, I also tried all sorts of paths that I thought might work as variations of the paths on the two example commands, but none worked. I ended up doing a checkout and that seems to have updated my files. Can someone point me in the right direction?
