Hi! I m having the same problem like many before me, but i still don t know the answer, so here i go: Whenever i execute xboard i get the message `first chess program (gnuchessx) exited unespectedly`. Since i don t want to bother you with silly questions i read the faq and used the `-debug` flag. Now it says `no langfile` as mentioned in the faq. So now i know that i didn t compile gnuchess correctly, but what the hack did i do wrong? The only thing i did was that i wrote my local bin and lib directories in the Makefile (so that was /home/.../mini/bin and /home/.../mini/lib). Another problem was that `make install` (the 3rd step in the installation-guide) didn`t work. > `fatal error: don`t know how to make target `install`` Where do i have to type `make install`? src? bin? lib? What did i do wrong, i wonder !?! Thanks for your help.
