I'm having difficulty making the xchess that comes in the
gnuchess-3.00 distribution.  I'm making it on a Sun4 for use with
X11R4 and gnuchess.  I've gotten it to compile and link with no
complaints, but it segv's before producing any output.  Since our
system is set up to support multiple versions of X windows, I changed
the INCLUDE and LDFLAGS as follows.

INCLUDE = -I. -I/usr/local/X11R4/include

LDFLAGS =  -L /usr/local/X11R4/lib/ -loldX -lX11 -z -lm

Note that the old LDFLAGS looked like this

LDFLAGS = -loldX -lX11 -z -lX -lm

I removed the -lX because it wasn't being found and because it didn't
seem to be necessary.  Should it be there at all in the release?

I noted an earlier article in this group by Larry M. Augustin that
talked about setting the font correctly for the first message, but
that doesn't seem to be the problem with this release.  I looked at it
with gdb.  Here is the backtrace.

(gdb) bt
#0  0xa7f4 in win_drawpiece ()
#1  0x29d0 in board_drawall ()
#2  0x26ec in main ()

Any clues?
