I can't get GNU Chess 5.0 to compile. I am running Red Hat Linux 6.0 on
a Pentium III machine. This is presumably due to lack of experience. I
don't program in C at all, but only compile source code which I download.

If I follow the directions in the README I receive the messages at the
end of this post (under 1.). If I change MACHINE=-DUNIX to MACHINE=-DIBMPC,
which it seems to me that I need to do, I still get warnings and the
install error (this transcript is listed at the end of this post under 2.)

It seems to me that at least the install error could be related to the
following

# make k2 - makes chess-playing program with xboard capability
#	    (run k2.exe afterwards, with "post" if you wish verbosity)
# make k2u - makes version that interfaces with Novag Universal Chess Board
#	    (run k2u.exe afterwards, set mode universal on, plug Universal
#	     into COM1 port on PC using Novag cable.)

If I uncomment 'make k2' I get yet another error referring to that line
(I do want to use xboard).


I find it strange that during 'make install' there seems to be an attempt
to copy a file 'k2.exe' to  '/winprg/winboard'. This seems like something
one would expect on a Windows PC.


I would be greatful for any help.
