I have problems getting gnuchess to work under xchess, which is
included in the gnuchess distribution (this refers to the most recent
distribution as recently announced by Stuart Cracraft).  After
installing gnuchess, gnuchessr, and xchess virtually unchanged on my
Sun 3/50 with X11R3 and typing
	xchess -c [-p gnuchessr]
a window with a chessboard pops up and all chess pieces but the white
King's rook are painted, but then the program hangs.
	xchess -c -p /usr/games/chess
works, and just using
	gnuchessr
directly indicate that gnuchessr has the same (character)
interface as /usr/games/chess, which is somewhat puzzling.

Has anybody else observed this problem who would be willing to
post/email the fix?

With thanks in advance,
