Happy Holidays netters, Well, I got my hands on the GNU X-chess sources, now I got to make it work. For others interested I found two problems. 1. std.h calls for including <strings.h>. Don't know if this is peculiar to SYSV or what but I only have a string.h(no plural) and it works fine, maybe. 2. xchess.c line 80 uses a signal(SIGCHLD, die). Now again on my system signal.h only defines a SIGCLD. If the line in xchess.c is for death of a child process I guess I'm ok, maybe. Now for the one I don't know a thing about: $make all co message.c co error:Can't find RCS/message.c,v nor message.c,v ***error code 1 stop. $ This means Nada to me. The only message.* file is message.c.UU What is it, I don't know that much about this kind of stuff. The file don't look like any C file I ever seen. What is co? I realize this is just a lack knoledge on my part but maybe I can convince someone to enlighten me. Much thanks in advance...

You should first decode them: uudecode <file>. Now you have message.c and record.c . Do a 'make' again and it'll work. Now for my own problem: I compiled everything and tried playing: % xchess -c -p ~/bin/gnuchessr xchess starts, draws a board, and lets me make the first move. Now the problem started: I get messages like "wrong player" or something like that. After that the program dies (SIGCHLD). What is wrong ???? Rob. PS I tried it with gnuchess as well as gnuchessr. -- | The two rules of Rob: Rob ten Kroode (roberto@cwi.nl) | rule #1 : I am _always_ right. | rule #2 : If I am not right, apply rule #1.
