:I have problems comiling the latest version of gnuchess on my linux system (kernel 1.1.29). I type make (after editing the makefile to my best knowledge ... :-) ) and after a few seconds i get a message like ...

:error in main.c line ??
:         gnuchess.h line ??
:         curses.h line ??        .... to deep recursion

:I cant remember more exactly, cause i removed the source before discovering this newsgroup ... :-)

:Though this looks more like a (pre)-compiler problem to me , maybe someone here can give me a tip ...

I had the same problem with the MCC (and probably Yggdrasil) distribution.
Removing the line
#define HZ  HZ
from curses.h solved the problem for me.

Anyone know why you would want to write such a strange line?
I got it even though I just did
make gnuchessx
What good is curses for the xboard interface?
