Re: [Bug-XBoard] [bug #48600] Xboard didnt start

[H.G. Muller]

I have seen this complaint before, and it turned out to be due to a line

-firstChessProgram

in the master settings file (/etc/xboard.conf), which packagers for some 
distros seem to have added.
Removing that line should solve the problem. I have no idea why 
packagers would wreck XBoard
before distributing it; perhaps you should submit a bug report about 
that to the applicable Linux distro.

If you install XBoard from source, from the tar ball supplied at GNU 
Savannah (or from git),
you should not have this problem.
