Jon, it looks like you and Scott were right. I'm using xandros 3.01, so I went to xandros networks and downloaded (with automatic install) C/C++ and Debian Development Tools. Now I have both g++-3.3 and gcc-3.3 in my /usr/bin. I was able to ./configure both gnuchess and xboard, but neither one wants to install. Running make on xboard I get: bob@Pooh-at-Home:~/xboard-4.2.7$ make gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DINFODIR=\"/usr/local/share/info\" -c xboard.c xboard.c:159:28: X11/Xaw/Dialog.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:160:26: X11/Xaw/Form.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:161:26: X11/Xaw/List.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:162:27: X11/Xaw/Label.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:163:32: X11/Xaw/SimpleMenu.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:164:28: X11/Xaw/SmeBSB.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:165:29: X11/Xaw/SmeLine.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:166:25: X11/Xaw/Box.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:167:32: X11/Xaw/MenuButton.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:168:26: X11/Xaw/Text.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:169:31: X11/Xaw/AsciiText.h: No such file or directory xboard.c:693: error: `XtNdefaultDistance' undeclared here (not in a function) xboard.c:693: error: initializer element is not constant xboard.c:693: error: (near initialization for `layoutArgs[1].name') xboard.c:693: error: initializer element is not constant................ Plus a lot of other error messages. Seems to be looking for something it can't find. Do I have to install another version of X11?? (All I wanted to do was drain the pond, and here I am, up to my ass in alligators.) Bob jon@the-hansons-az.net wrote: > It actually doesn't look like GCC is installed completely.
