[gnu.chess] Help with Xchess

davy@RIACS.EDU (04/25/89)

I grabbed the most recent gnuchess.tar.Z off prep this morning, and
brought it over to a Sun 3/60 running SunOS 4.0.1 and X.V11R3.

After finally making Xchess compile (I had to change "-lX" to be
"-loldX -lX11", I tried the following things from the "Xchess"
directory:

	xchess -p ../gnuchessr
		- seems to work, but I want to play the computer

	xhess -c -p ../gnuchessr
		- draws all the pieces but the very last white rook,
		  and then hangs

	xchess -c -p ../gnuchess
		- lets me make a move, then dumps core with a seg. fault.

What am I doing wrong?

Please respond directly to me; I'm not on this list.

Davy,

If you see something in GNU chess that you think is fixable, please
do! We depend on GNU's users to help build a better GNUworld.

I am attempting to run Xchess on  my sun 386i.  I compiled the program and gnuchess,
when I try to run xchess, the board comes up and the program hangs, any help would be appreaciated.
