Is gnuchessx in the directory you're starting xboard from? Try copying the gnuchessx into the directory you're working from. To see if xboard itself is working, try xboard -ncp which starts it without trying to start a chess program. It's not a lot of use, but this will help you to ensure that xboard itself is working. Cheers Andrew PS Let us know how you get on.
