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

Recently my xboard on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 throws an error when starting an UCI engine via polyglot.

Tried version 4.7.3 from repository and 4.8.0 self compile, testwise removed .xboardrc and xboard.conf and reinstalled, no luck.


xboard: Error: first chess program (polyglot -noini -ec "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/stockfish7" -ed "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/" -uci NalimovCache=4) exited unexpectedly


When starting polyglot itself, it looks alright...

polyglot -noini -ec "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/stockfish7" -ed "/home/srdja/Projects/chess/bin/" -uci NalimovCache=4,PolyGlot 1.4.67b by Fabien Letouzey.

I surely installed some updates recently, not sure which could have such an effect...any suggestions?
