The comment about k2 is just a comment, not a line that you have to 
uncomment.  In fact, it's an incorrect comment.  At some time in the past 
the program may have been called "k2", but now it's called "gnuchess". 
Just say "make" or "make gnuchess", without editing the makefile, to make 
the version with xboard compatibility.

The "make install" target is junk.  You don't have to type "make install".
Just run the gnuchess program, making sure the file book.dat is in the
current directory.

There seems to be a bug in "gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux 
(egcs-1.1.2 release)" that prevents it from compiling gnuchess 5.00.
It will compile if you delete "-fomit-frame-pointer" from the Makefile.
I don't know how this affects performance.
