Thanks everybody for your reactions! I decided to follow Nardy's instructions, because I want to have the multithreaded version and I like to fiddle around with the compile options a bit. Everything now works!
If some other n00b like me wants to build gnubg later on, he/she might want to know that there were a few small typo's in the instructions: The following line: 'run makebearoff -f gnubg_ts0.bd --twosided-6x6' should be: './makebearoff -f gnubg_ts0.bd --two-sided=6x6' Cheers, Misja On 8/13/07, motiv4u <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I have been trying to compile gnubg on Ubuntu (Feisty), but > > encountered some problems. > > Could somebody please help me out?
