Comment 2 for bug 356553

xiando,
I have tried your instruction on Ubuntu 9.04 final release (installing pychess from repository: sudo apt-get install pychess) and PyChess started up, but reported several messages:
=========
Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pychess/Players/engineNest.py:3: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
  import os, md5, imp
==========
Then when I clicked on "Start Game" button to play chess PyChess returned the following errors into terminal:

=========
