boost 1.27.0, type_traits, and CVS

I just downloaded the latest version on the web site.  I've never really used
CVS before, but I tried to grab what appeared to be all the relevant files for
type_traits.  Now, when I try to use boost::function, I get all this:

/usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:151: parse error before `>'
   token
/usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: template argument 1 is
   invalid
/usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: `type' is not a class
   or namespace
/usr/local/include/boost/function/function_base.hpp:153: ISO C++ forbids
   declaration of `type' with no type

Which points to a line that contains is_stateless<>, which I assume is
part of type_traits.  So, could someone, in simple terms that a 5-year-old
could understand, tell me how to get the latest version of type_traits from
CVS?  Do I actually need to download CVS software, or can I do it all 
through the web interface?  Thanks.

Dave
