hello,

i'm pretty sure these problems have simple solutions, but my ideas
(which included searching the faq, the readme, the install, the
makefile, and the configure files!) have failed.

I'm trying to get everything running on my linux machine (v. 1.2.7).
I unpacked everything in /usr/tmp, then went into
/usr/tmp/gnuch.../src and configured the makefile (./configure) and
successfully typed "make".  the first problem occurred when i typed
"make install"; I was confronted with the line "./gnuchess.data and
gnuchess.data are same file".  i had the same problem with
gnuchess.eco.  these are the only two files whose install line is:
$(INSTALL) gnuchess.data $(LIBDIR)/gnuchess.data.  when i commented
these lines out everything installed successfully, but when i try
"gnuchess -v", unless the file gnuchess.lang is in the directory that
i'm in at the time it prints "NO LANGFILE (file gnuchess.lang not
found)".  I have moved this file to the /usr/local/bin directory, but
that doesn't solve the problem (that is, unless i'm in /usr/local/bin
i still get the "NO LANGFILE...").  any ideas why this might be
happening?  should i change my LIBDIR variable (the default is just
".") and if so, to what?

the trouble with XBoard is even stranger.  upon typing "make" i get
the error
	"cc1: /tmp/cca02837.s: I/O error
	make: *** [parser.o] Error 1"
immediately after the
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I/usr/X386/include -c parser.c
line.

again, any suggestions?

i'm sorry if these are trivial, but i really did try to figure them
out on my own first!
