I have been trying to install XBoard4.9.1, but I have run into two problems. I have versiom 16 of Ubuntu.
1) I am trying to do it using the Ubuntu Sofware, but it only installs only version 4.8 of Xboard and I can't connect it to ICS or FICS.
2) I downloaded the file Xboard'4.9.1.tar.gz, but I couldn't install it. I have never installed a program from a file.
I want install this program and connnected it to FICS (freechess.com.). How can I do so?
