The default method of xboard installation adds an system menu item in "Application -> Games", but when I try to select "xboard" from the menu, I have got the same quite disturbing and misleading message. Which makes Application -> Games ->XBoard totalyl useless -- it does not anything except displaying error message.

This can be fixed by any of the following :

1. checking if "gnuchess" is installed and adding "-ncp" parameter to the command line if not.
2. requiring "gnuchess" installation along with the xboard installation
3. removing "Applications -> Games -> XBoard" menu item, so people can have fun with the command line parameters
