That is really strange. I just downloaded the source and compiled on my macbook:

Code: Select all

coulom@remis-macbook:~/Downloads/BayesElo>make
g++ -o bayeselo -O3 -Wall bayeselo.cpp
coulom@remis-macbook:~/Downloads/BayesElo>./bayeselo

I think I found the cause of this one. It looks to me like the copy of bayeselo source we are using was modified to set the default advantage to zero (see line 139 here). I really don't understand why.

Sorry for that; I've only been working with the code for about 2 weeks and all the other developers are missing at the moment.
