Nice to see a Linux version! Unfortunately, there appears to be a problem with it (Scid 3.4 beta 4, Mandrake Linux 9.0 -> gcc 3.2, i686 compilation). When used as an analysis engine in scid it crashes every time, after getting to roughly 5 ply, with a core dump. A gdb analysis of the core dump follows; if you want me to do more please say so. The command line in scid is simply /home/thebrix/arasan6/arasanx without command line arguments. There's no problem using it from the command line, or from xboard 4.2.6 (xboard -fcp /home/thebrix/arasan6/arasanx).
