Hi

=========================
If you are using GNU Chess and you see this problem as soon as it starts up, most likely GNU Chess is exiting with an error message. If you see the message "NO LANGFILE", it m
eans that you did not install GNU Chess correctly, and it is unable to find the file gnuchess.lang. Make sure that you defined LIBDIR in the gnuchess Makefile, and that gnuche
ss.lang is in that directory. If gnuchess.lang is not there, you probably didn't type "make install" in the gnuchess src directory; you must do this to install gnuchess.lang (
and the gnuchess book). If you defined LIBDIR to something that is not an absolute pathname (that is, to something that does not start with a "/"), GNU Chess will work only if
 you run it from the GNU Chess "src" directory where you built it
=========================


I was only using make but just to cross check  I  tried make install-sh   it says nothing to for install-sh .
Please can you tell me from where i can download GNU chess 5  .


Probably GNU chess it is not  installed in our system  ( Please  can you tell me path for the same i will double check  ?? )
Thanks !!

Regards
Ketan

You would probably be better off using GNU Chess 5, not GNU Chess 4,
but if you want to use GNU Chess 4, I think the langfile error is
covered in the FAQ too.  See question [C.19], second paragraph.

By the way, I am puzzled why you are compiling xboard 4.2.7 and GNU
Chess from source for Linux.  Most Linux distributions include these
programs in packages.

Hi
  Thanks for the info ..
  I have tried to install gnuchess-4.0.pl80
  so i was facing one issue  attached file which describes the cmds and its
output (log.txt)

===============================================
dspcomN.o(.text+0x17e5): In function `ElapsedTime':
: undefined reference to `errno'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [gnuchess] Error 1
 ===============================================


  so to avoid above problem i  have modfied gnuan.c and dspcom.c as errno
are used in fprintf only ..

==org code ==
   fprintf (stderr,    "You probably have a non-ANSI <ioctl.h>; see README.
%d %d %x\n",  i, errno, FIONREAD);
== modfied code
   fprintf (stderr,    "You probably have a non-ANSI <ioctl.h>; see README.
%d %x\n",  i,  FIONREAD);

 and recompiled every c file and put gnuchess in my PATH variable
 My PATH variable has :
 $HOME/chess/gnuchess-4.0.pl80/src:$HOME/chess/gnuchess-4.0.pl80/misc

  Now whne i am doing xboard facing following issue ..
xboard: Failed to start first chess program gnuchessx on localhost: NO
LANGFILE (file gnuchess.lang not found)

i have seen gnuchess.lang  is present at $HOME/chess/gnuchess-4.0.pl80/misc
still i am facing above issue .. please can you help on the same ?



Thanks !!

Ketan
