Andy,

Not sure if this will help or not, but a couple of weeks ago I 
built/installed GNUstep on my Mandrake 9.0 system.  The route I took was do 
download the core.???.tgz file, unpack it, and then run the compile-all 
script.  That built the packages in appropriate order and worked grat.  I 
think the bit you need is to run GNUstep.sh (using syntax ". 
/absolute/path/GNUstep.sh").

Good luck.
