I uploaded a new 4.6.1 version:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/Scid/Scid%204.6/
The Windows package is ~127MB because it's "battery included":
- stockfish: one of the strongest UCI chess engines (for game analysis)
- phalanx: xboard chess engine with some interesting ideas for
playing like a human (suiteable for playing)
- players photo: a collection of players photo (the player name must be
unambiguous: "Carlsen" will not work)
- spelling.ssp: a file for normalizing names of players, events and sites
(for example from "Carlsen, M" to "Carlsen, Magnus")
- tactical bases: resolve tactical positions playing against the computer
(menu Play->Training->Tactics)
All the above things are useful but optional (players photo require ~133MB).
Linux and Mac users can manually download and install the extras from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/Player%20Data/Latest%20data/
How to compile:
http://sourceforge.net/p/scid/wiki/CompileScid/
I also suggest to use 8.6 tcl/tk version,
uninstall older Scid version (sudo make uninstall)
and remove older Scid config files (rm -r ~/.scid)
Please give it a try and report any issue.
Bye,
Fulvio
