Possibly your confusing which version of which program your running.

What is the first line of output when you run the program?

Gnuchess 5 is a complete rewrite - the gnuchess 4 programs were mostly
variations of the same core code that worked with different interfaces,
5 does this with options, see the documentation.

It is probably easier to uninstall 4 if you have an RPM version, and are
getting the versions mixed up, although you can of course have both
installed if you know what your doing.

Tim Mann bundles all sorts of goodies with his latest xboard/winboard
which is a good place to start if your getting up todate on free chess
software.
