    I just ftp'ed gnuchess 4.0 and am having trouble installing it.
I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file in the doc/ directory
(changing the bin and lib variables in the src/ Makefile) and ran the
Makefile in the src directory.  I then tried to run gnuchess, and got
a seg fault.
    Any info about installing gnu chess would be appreciated.
    On another point...  I ftp'ed gnuchess because I want a powerful
(fast) chess-playing program.  I do not care about the interface that
much; a simple picture of a board would suffice.  Is gnuchess the right
program for me?
