A few things:

It looks like a makefile problem to me, try making a backup of your
makefile, and in the original change the line that says "cp k2.exe
/winprg/winboard"  to  "cp gnuchess.exe /winprg/winboard".

Keep in mind here that I'm only guessing, and I don't have Linux to try this
out on, there's probably several lines in the makefile along those imediate
lines so it might error out on those too, there's also several different
makefiles, so maybe try one of the others, good luck.
