I get this error when I try to bring up XBOARD-3.1.pl1 and gnuchessx
on my SGI (IRIX 5.2):

[shark:root:/usr/people/schieb/gnuchess-4.0.pl73/src] % xboard -debug
Sending to first: new

Sending to first: otim 30000

help
Received from first: Chess
Received from first: FIONREAD: Operation not applicable
Received from first: You probably have a non-ANSI <ioctl.h>; see README. -1 89 4004667f
xboard: Error: first chess program (gnuchessx) exited unexpectedly
Received from second: You probably have a non-ANSI <ioctl.h>; see README. -1 89 4004667f

Can this be fixed?  What can I do about my ioctl.h, if that really is
the problem?

Thanks,
--Brian
