OK, I discovered that my xboard was crashing because it couldn't get all the colours it wanted (I had to shut down Netscape Communicator first). So now my xboard works! Thanks for your help. I guess I got side-tracked thinking the crashing was something to do with the error on make install. Now all I have to do is get chess 5.00 running too. I don't suppose you have any ideas on that one (see other post)?
