gnuchess compilation error

[vishnumurthy prabhu]

I have downloaded tar ball of gnuchess-5.07. and I tried to build
using following commands in the extracted directory.
$sudo make ./configure
$sudo make

./configure went fine. but when compiling, It gave following error.

In file included from atak.c:29:
common.h:748: error: ‘getline’ redeclared as different kind of symbol
/usr/include/stdio.h:651: note: previous declaration of ‘getline’ was
here

and It stopped there itself.

I am using ubuntu 10.04.
gcc 4.4.3

complete message upon "make" is as follows:

I believe this is fixed in CVS version

http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=134

Should be at or about release quality, as this was prepared for release
of 5.08, we plan to release 6 shortly which is based on a different code
base entirely.
