	Well.. First of all you will have a very strange error in gnuchess.h
file .. This is because some of the gnuchess' flags have the same name 
as curses Macros in /usr/include/curses.h .. If you don't want to compile
gnuchessc, just comment #include <curses.h> line in gnuchess.h. .. If you want to have gnuchessc try copying /usr/include/curses.h, modifying it and #include
"curses.h" .. Another problem is that sgi has a bad cpp... You are better off
using the gcc..
