It looks like gnome-chess has to be configured to use a back-end program: fink desc gnome-chess Information about 8427 packages read in 1 seconds. gnome-chess-0.4.0-2: Chess client for the GNOME desktop environment This package contains GNOME Chess, a graphical user interface for playing chess and displaying PGN files. It works with different chess programs and servers. It works best with the chess engine Crafty, but most features should also work with GNU Chess. I don't know how one actually gets a board to show up even after setting that, though -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
