version info: gnuchess-4.0.pl73 xboard-3.1.pl1 I have compiled and installed gnuchess and xboard on a DEC Alpha machine running OSF/1 V3.0. The installation went fine, except for an error message about not finding gnuchess.book to install. Now, when I startup xboard and make the first move, after about 30 seconds, I get: xboard: Error: first chess program (gnuchessx) exited unexpectedly I tried running xboard -debug, as suggested in the FAQ, but did not get any diagnostics about why gnuchessx exited: srnity: sharma> xboard -debug Sending to first: new beep random easy Sending to first: otim 30000 time 30000 help Received from first: Chess Received from first: CHESS command summary Received from first: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Received from first: g1f3 move from g1 to f3 quit Exit Chess Received from first: a7a8q promote pawn to queen material turn OFF Received from first: o-o castle king side easy turn ON Received from first: o-o-o castle queen side hash turn OFF Received from first: bd redraw board reverse board display Received from first: list game to chess.lst book turn OFF used 0 of 250000 Received from first: undo undo last ply remove take back a move Received from first: edit edit board force enter game moves Received from first: switch sides with computer both computer match Received from first: white computer plays white black computer plays black Received from first: depth set search depth clock set time control Received from first: post principle variation hint suggest a move Received from first: save game to file get game from file Received from first: random randomize play new start new game Received from first: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Received from first: Computer: Black Opponent: White Received from first: Depth: 34 Response time: 0 sec Received from first: Random: ON Easy mode: OFF Received from first: Beep: OFF Transposition file: ON Received from first: Time Control ON 40 moves in 300 sec inc 0 depth 34 Sending to first: time 30000 otim 30000 Sending to first: e2e3 Received from first: 1. e2e3 xboard: Error: first chess program (gnuchessx) exited unexpectedly Received from second: 1. e2e3 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ravishanakar Sharma Digital Equipment Corporation sharma@broke.enet.dec.com 110 Spitbrook Road, Nashua NH
