[gnu.chess] Need help with gnu xchess installation on pyramid

Hello all.
I'm having some problems getting gnuchess up and running on a 
Pyramid 9825 under OSx 4.4.  We've installed X11R4 from MIT,
and had few problems with X applications.  To get gnuchess
installed I had to install, bison, gcc and then compile gnuchess
with gcc.  No complaints, all seemed to go well, except gnuchess
doesn't want to work.  The curses mode guy just sits there, stuck
in the scanw.  The xchess version dies almost immediately, but
can be coaxed into putting a window up if you step it through 
sdb. ( It seemed to get further along without uwm running).

At the moment I'm unsure if the problems are in gcc (gcc-1.37.1),
X, or gnuchess.  Any ideas out there on just what I've hosed?
Appreciate any thoughts.
