I have successfully compiled gnuchess and xboard (two seperate packages).
However when I try to run xboard I get:

xboard: Failed to start chess program gnuchessx on localhost: NO LANGFILE 
(file gnuchess.lang not found)

I tried copying the gnuchess.lang file into the bin dir where xboard and
gnuchess reside, but it still reports the same error. My gnuchess.lang file
was installed to $HOME/lib.                

Any help is much appreciated!
I really want to get this thing working so I can play some chess.
