Here is a problem encountered while compiling gnuchess 4.0, pl 75.
I do not know whether it is specific to one machine, but I report it in 
case it is of more general assistance.

After running 'config' to generate a Makefile, one of the comment-lines 
appearing in the Makefile reads:

        # -DLONG64 if you have 64bit longs

When gnuchess was compiled using -DLONG64 (on an appropriate machine),
the program failed to pick up the openings bookfile when run (although the
program appeared to work properly in all other respects). 

When -DLONG64 was removed from the compile options, the opening-book
worked fine.
