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.

Marcus

 There is a theory that says, if someone finds out what the universe is
 for and why it is there it vanishes on the spot and will be replaced by
 something even more bizarre and inconceivable.
 There is another theory that says, that this has already happened.
