Having just installed the viewCVS-1.0-DEV dist available on that site
yesterday, I can say that it works fairly well.

The error you are quoting appears to be a python error, and other
non-viewCVS scripts generate the same error:
http://mla.libertine.org/tmda-workers/200111/msg00068.html

Perhaps your script mapping is incorrect in apache, or you need a final
"/" on the end of your URL.  I've included my install notes below if
that helps, although I'm currently using viewCVS with IIS5.  Sorry for
the lengthy message.

I tried to be consistent and use forward slashes everywhere:
c:/blah/blah

Grab latest versions of various utils:

- Activestate python 2.x
- you'll need the cvs/rcs tools (duh. :)

- viewCVS-1.0-Dev for win32: http://russ.hn.org/viewcvs/
  - enscript -- I had to install the complete dir tree from:
                     http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
                     And the compiled binary from:

http://www.tc.cornell.edu/Research/CompMatSci/Multiscale/DigitalMaterial
/Software/Win32Config.shtml
                     The first got installed into c:/progra~1/enscript/,

                     while the later requires the .cfg file to be in
c:/util/enscript/
                     The escript.cfg file needs to be modified to the
correct system specific paths
     - sed, from: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/, installed in
c:/services/cvs/sed.exe
     - I don't think you need: gettext or libiconv. (from:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) when using the binary of enscript from
cornell
  - cvsgraph (graph application): used included binary from viewcvs dist
(windows/binaries/)
                    copied into c:/services/cvs -- cvsgraph.exe,
libjpeg.6.dll, libpng.2.1.dll, and libz.dll

- Setup IIS to point to the appropriate root (where I installed the
viewcvs tree)
- Mapped .cgi to python (' c:/services/python22/python.exe "%s" ')
- added viewcvs.cgi as a default doc

In viewcvs.conf:
- enabled enscript, set path
- enabled gzip
- enabled cvsgraph
- set paths
- set fonts
