    Configuration in resource file?


    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

    Hey,

    Open a Terminal(KMenu->system->Terminal) and run:
    Code:
    xgospel -site igs.joyjoy.net
    Report back with the results.

      the terminal just returns:
      bash: xgospel: command not found

      I can start xgospel by clicking on it directly in it's location (~/Downloads/Xgospel1.12d). Remember, I'm a New Guy...

          Cool, when I try
          ~/Downloads/xgospel-1.12d/xgospel -user [myusername] -password [mypassword] -site igs.joyjoy.net, it actually works!!

          Thanks a lot for your help.

          What I would like to be able to, is to store my settings in a configuration file. Any idea how to accomplish this?

              The README file reveals the configuration file is called: .Xdefaults there is an example of what should be in the file in the README.

              And it needs to be in the ~/Downloads/xgospel-1.12d folder.
