problem running stockfish

Sort:

I added stockfish 15 to scid vs PC, but get message when trying to start "The analysis engine terminated without exit code: "". I click on configuration, engine error "File not executable, or not an UCI engine. In the past, I had this issue but was able to resolve it with the previous version. I forgot what I did. Any idea?

This is on a Linux machine.

Did you make sure the binary has the execute bits set?

Get stockfish working from the command line first.

Probaby "chmod +x stockfish"

Or it could be the binary you downloaded has the wrong CPU optimisations. Compling stockfish binaary yourself can be a big noob step, but it's worthwhile learning on Linux.

Did you resolve it? I have the same issue and I had compiled Stockfish 15 myself which works perfectly well from command line but somehow unable to connect to Scid. I will ignore the simplistic comments above and assume you have a perfectly working version of Stockfish 15, according to the programmers communications on Github it may be an problem with the GUI (Scid) engine connection: https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3678
