(Sun-4/60, SunOS 4.0.3c, GCC 1.37.1, X.V11R4)

I built and installed GNU Chess 3.1 (gnuchess, gnuchessr, gnuchessn,
and xchess all in $PATH), then invoked `xchess -p gnuchessr'.  I enter
one move as white, and black's clock starts, but no response is
forthcoming.  Changing DEF_PROGRAM to name gnuchessr explicitly has no
effect either.  ps(1) shows only my xchess running, with no gnuchessr
or gnuchess behind it.

What am I doing wrong?  It's gotta be something really simple...

Turns out I needed to supply both (a) the -c option and (b) the full
path to gnuchessr.  When I said
	xchess -c -p /usr/local/bin/gnuchessr
everything ran and I was quickly defeated :-)

Thanks to Dave Avraamides <avraamid@whiteface.crd.ge.com> for the tip.
