I'm trying to run xgospel, an somewhat older client for the game of go, which comes in an tar.gz file. After extracting all files to a directory, I have to change some settings (which server to connect to, etc). The user's guide tells me to make the settings in a separate file, called XGospel, which should be invoked by adding "xrdb XGospel" in .xinitrc or .xsession. Unfortunately, this seems not to work for me. I do have a file called .xinitrc in my home-directory, but adding "xrdbd XGospel" doesn't have any effect.
I have a feeling xrdb may no longer be in use, or something. Can anyone point me in a right direction how to use configuration files such as XGospel or - more specifically - what to do now?
Thanks in advance,
Salosalo
