Hello, everyone. Since this is my first post I will introduce myself. I'm a USCF National Master and Senior Master of Corr. Chess. I'm active on the Chesspub forum under the pseudonym "Markovich." I have a bitchin' machine: dual quad core, 8 x 3.0 Ghz, 2 x 250 Gig scsi array with raid striping, 500 Gig scsi bootable backup, running Ubuntu 64 bit. Although I have a Windows XP virtual machine, mostly for Bookup, I'm running SCID directly under Linux. I have 5+ million games in my main data base. I like SCID a whole lot, though I find so many floating windows a little annoying. My chess engine is Deep Shredder 12, since that's the strongest one that runs multithreaded directly under Linux.
By profession I'm an Economist; at work I do a lot of scientific programming, mostly in Fortran 95 and Python, for house-built analytical software that runs multithreaded on a big AIX server. I'm strictly a Unix guy; I detest Windows. My editor is Emacs and I'm pretty much of a command line dude. At some point I might like to make a contribution to this project, but not right away. So that's my intro. My reason for posting: I have done the obvious things to connect Deep Schredder 12 to SCID via UCI. I can make the engine's UCI interface work from the command line. But when I hook it up to SCID via the engine config dialogue, SCID tells me that my engine crashes as soon as I make a move. What gives? Has anyone reading this hooked Shredder up to SCID? I would like to dispense with Shredder's default Java interface.
