Well if you use a tarball from Scids site to compile yourself egtb is included. Any problems with ./configure spotted? > The tablebase directory > option was unavailable since I run scid the first time, before I > installed nalimov. Well, the code is included if you have tb-files or not. There's just no search path set. > Maybe I could have made some error during the > compiling steps. Do you think I had better to compile again the package > in a different directory and see if there is any difference? I wonder if this solves the problem but it's worth a try. You may use a procedure like this: $ mv $HOME/.scid $HOME/_scid $ mkdir $HOME/sourceforge $ cd $HOME/sourceforge $ cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@scid.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/scid login $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonym...@scid.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/scid co -P scid This gives you the cvs code in $HOME/sourceforge/scid. Just press enter after the first cvs line if you're asked for a password. To build it: $ cd scid $ cvs update $ export PATH=.:$PATH $ ./configure $ make $ ./scid This gives you a clean compile of current cvs and provided you run the export PATH statement and run scid from within it's build dir you don't need an install step. I use this version right now and checked that EGTB is working. -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery. Alexander Wagner | Ignorance is Strength. | | Theory : G.
