I have difficulty installing gnuchess 3.1 on my Sparcstation. The program
doesn't talk to chesstool correctly. I can make a move, then gnuchessr makes
a move and hangs - I cannot input anything from chesstool anymore (including
quit).  When it plays white, it makes a move and hangs.

Is there something obvious I am doing wrong?

thanks
niranjan

You are doing nothing wrong, try running gnuchessr and then chess.
You will notice that they give different output.
To change this, edit nondsp.c.
I have not tried chesstool myself but I have heard that it is buggy.
Does it work all right with chess?
