I have tried to build gnubg again, this time on a new computer. I have downloaded the latest snapshot, and again on this computer the OS is Ubuntu 7.04. Only this time it is the 64 bit version.
I have followed the instructions which Nardy gave to me last time and which worked at that time.
Building and compiling seemed to go without any problems, until I tried to start gnubg by typing ./gnubg in my gnubg directory. There were a couple of error messages, and all of them seemed to indicate the gnubg tried to find files in the /usr/local/share/gnubg directory. That's not were I installed gnubg, the same as last time I installed it in /home/misja/gnubg. Anyway, below is the complete error message. Could anybody please help?

Note that gnubg does not use the gnubg.bd file. You should obtain the file gnubg_ts0.bd or generate it yourself using the program 'makebearoff'.
You can generate the file with the command: makebearoff -t 6x6 -f gnubg_ts0.bd You can also generate other bearoff databases; see README for more details
