5.03beta is the first thing that I tried. I can compile it
in the same way as v5.02, but it does not take any of the
commands: "post", "depth 6", "go", "quit". See below:

By default, xboard expects to find "gnuchessx". I know I can specify
the program to run with command line options, but I did

  cd /usr/local/bin && ln gnuchess gnuchessx

instead.

Thank you!
