Re: How to work in GNUStep?

[Jatin Nansi]

Hi Max / Dennis,

Actually it is not a shell problem.

i am just not able to understand why every single gnustep app 
gives me one error ie:

Apr 05 19:01:46 GWorkspace[2879] NSApplication.m:192  Assertion failed in 
initialize_gnustep_backend.  Unable to load backend, aborting
Uncaught exception NSInternalInconsistencyException, reason: 
NSApplication.m:192  Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend.  Unable 
to load backend, aborting

i am sure that i run the env init script (GNUstep.sh). and i am positive i
followed every step in the install guides. 

i am doing this on a suse 7.3. 

Versions:
GNU Make version 3.79.1
GNU ld 2.11.90.0.29
iconv (GNU libc) 2.2.4
gcc --version: 3.0.4
ffcall: ffcall-1.8d
gmp: 3.1.1
Guile 1.4
OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001
LIBTIFF, Version 3.5.5
libxml: 2.4.3
DGS: not installed.

GNUStep: Latest from ftp.openstep.org (20020405).

Thing is everything is installed beautifully, not 1 error.
i am thinking that maybe my xinitrc (as per the guide, the link for 
which doesn't work/i got my copy after googling from gnustep.net) 
is incorrect, but i verified that it works ok. 
another thing is that the gdnc and gpbs binaries register themselves
with the gdomap after appending the hostname.
so when i do gdomap -L GDNCServer , i get zilch,
but gdomap -L GDNCServer-jatinnansi finds the service/daemon (which1?).

it may also be that the ~/.xinitrc does something wrong. So could u 
send me a working copy?

is there any other binary i am to run (other than gdomap, gdnc and 
gpbs)? something that inits the backend?

Other than that and after already compiling twice, 
i m running out of ideas.

I am also attaching the ~/.xinitrc if it helps,

Thanks

Jatin
