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! scott -- scott franklin RLM 14.204 471-3105 442-6451 "The labour we delight in: physics pain" -- Macbeth
