I'm trying to get gnuchessx and xboard running on a RS6k with AIX 3.2.4.
My xboard version is xboard-3.0.pl9.
My gnuchess version is gnuchess4.0p62.
I have compiled gnuchess by gcc-2.4.5.
Here follows the script file:

As you can see gcc gives some warnings. I don't know how important they are, however, now I am
able to play.
Here follows a game issued by: "xboard -fcp gnuchessx -size Small  -tc 10"  

# xboard game file -- Tue Oct 12 12:02:38 1993
	vabb1649@iagrs01 vs. gnuchessx@localhost
	algebraic
1. e4  c5
2. Nf3  Nc6
3. d4  cxd4
4. Nxd4  Nf6
5. Nc3  d6
6. Bc4  e6
7. 0-0  Be7
8. Kh1  Bd7
9. f4  0-0
10. f5  e5
11. Ndb5  Na5
12. Na3  Bc6
13. Nd5  Nxe4
14. Nxe7  Qxe7
15. Bd5  Qh4
16. Be3  Ng3

Now I played 17. Bf2. However, I got the message "Illegal move".
When I tried 17. Rf3, I got the same Message. In fact I tried some more moves, but I got
always the same message.
In the past somebody asked in a mailing list how gnuchess can be compiled to run on a RS6k.
Some compiler options were posted which should run. The author of that mail wrote, that he
let gnuchess play against gnuchess successfully. That does not show that gnuchess is working
well, because both players (gnuchessx) may consider the same set of moves. As you can see 
from the above game the error occurs when playing against an other program (human).
So IMHO gnuchess-pl62 is at present not working correctly. However, if I remember well,
gnuchess pl60 worked well on a RS6k.

Thank you very much for helping to develop gnuchess and for helping in various mailing lists.
Sincerely
Bernhard Bauer
