Re: [Bug-XBoard] xboard polyglot error...solved

[Srdja Matovic]

I took a look into the debug file and found that i messed up the 
polyglot directory,
i mixed up the xboard params "-polyglotBook" and "-polyglotDir"....it 
works fine again :)

from xboard.debug:
StartChildProcess (dir="/home/srdja/Projects/books/book.bin") polyglot 
-noini -ec "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/stockfish7" -ed "." -uci 
NalimovCache=4
