It's OK  now. At least it un-tars without a problem.
Now, I am still trying to understand the installation part. The src
directory contains all the binaries pre-built. The INSTALL files has
instructions how to check that the build is successful. When I do
"post/depth 8/go" I get the result immediately. When I do "book
create.." it also returns immediately without a visible effect.
Is it because I have an earlier version (4.0) installed, and the new
build is actually using the old files? Should I uninstall it?
Also the current version I have was installed from RH rpm. It shows
many more files then I can see in the latest build.
Here's the result of "rpm -q -l gnuchess"

/usr/bin/game
/usr/bin/gnuan
/usr/bin/gnuchess
/usr/bin/gnuchessc
/usr/bin/gnuchessn
/usr/bin/gnuchessr
/usr/bin/gnuchessx
/usr/bin/postprint
/usr/lib/games/gnuchess/eco.pgn
/usr/lib/games/gnuchess/gnuchess.data
/usr/lib/games/gnuchess/gnuchess.eco
/usr/lib/games/gnuchess/gnuchess.lang
/usr/share/man/man6/game.6.gz
/usr/share/man/man6/gnuan.6.gz
/usr/share/man/man6/gnuchess.6.gz
/usr/share/man/man6/postprint.6.gz

The 'install' target in the Makefile is not very helpful either:

install:
	cp gnuchess.exe /cygdrive/c/winboard/gnuchess.exe

Would it be enough just to copy 'ghuchess' over the old one? 
What about the other 'gnuchess[cnrxt]' files, are they just simple wrappers? 
What about the book? 

Gnuchess is a great program and the version I have suits me fine and
beats me easily. It would be nice if the istallation process were a
bit more straightforward.

Thanks.
