segementation fault in xboard
Can anyone tell me the steps I should take to determine and correct the
cause of the following problem. (if this is documented please let me know)
I just downloaded gnuchess and xboard from debian, and installed it using
dselect. The progam (xboard) will not execute when I am "root" (I don't
normally play games as root, but I thought this was interesting) When I
try to run it as a user I get a "segmentation fault".
Everything on my system is from the "stable" directory. I am
using fvwm as a window manager. I tried running xboard without a
chessprogram, and also in ics mode. The results are the same. Running
linux suggests using gdb to examine the core file. Is that really a
practical sugestion?
