These are the steps I used to compile under Slackware, kernel2.0.30,
Xfree86-3.3:

1.  cd /usr/src
2.  gzip -d </usr/src/sources/gnuchess.gz |cpio -i -v -d -u -H ustar
3.  cd /usr/src/gnuchess-4.0.pl77/src
4.  mv configure configure.old
5.  sed 's/curses/ncurses/g' configure.old >configure
6.  ./configure
7.  mv Makefile Makefile.1
8.  sed 's/local\/gnu//g'  Makefile.1 >Makefile
9.  make
10. make install

Steps 4 & 5 simply change all occurances of "curses" to "ncurses".

Steps 7 & 8 changed a call to a non-existant "/usr/local/bin/gnuinstall"
to "/usr/bin/install"

If you don't have ncurses, you can get a copy at sunsite.

Good Luck
