There seems to be more than one thing that can cause gnuchessx to hang when it gets out of its opening book. Anyway, there is at least one thing that I understand, and at least one that I don't. If you have this problem, first check to be sure you really have gnuchess 4.0 pl62. Next, check the Makefile for gnuchess. There should be two lines with the string "OPT=" near the beginning, one that says "gnufour ICS client" on the previous line, and one that says "normal" on the previous line. The one following "gnufour ICS client" should be commented out, while the other is uncommented, like this: # gnufour ICS client #OPT= -DCACHE -DCLIENT -DGDX -DGNU3 -DHASGETTIMEOFDAY -DHISTORY -DNULLMOVE -DQUIETBACKGROUND -DSEMIQUIETBOOKGEN # normal OPT= -DCACHE -DGDX -DHASGETTIMEOFDAY -DHISTORY -DNULLMOVE -DOLDTIME -DQUIETBACKGROUND -DSEMIQUIETBOOKGEN If your gnuchess Makefile doesn't look like this, you need to edit it, then do "rm *.o; make; make install". My copy of gnuchess 4.0 pl62 was distributed with the makefile edited the correct way, but at least one person told me his wasn't. (Perhaps he really had 4.0 pl62beta, which is different; I don't know.) Unfortunately, some people who are having gnuchess hang after it gets out of the opening seem to be hitting a different problem, or problems. Hopefully we'll find out more in the future. --Tim
