I just found this directory and realized that the dir NSTimeZones is  
missing here. I only have

English.lproj    French.lproj     German.lproj     Italian.lproj     
Languages        NSCharacterSets

I copied ../core/base/NSTimeZones/NSTimeZones.tar into this directory  
and untarred manually. This fixed the problem.

I guess there is something wrong with the GNUmakefile or  
GNUmakefile.postamble file of the NSTimeZones subproject. In the  
NSTimeZones project

bash-2.03# make install
cp NSTimeZones.tar  
/opt/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/gnustep-base; \
cd /opt/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Resources/gnustep-base; \
if [ -f NSTimeZones/localtime ]; then \
  cp NSTimeZones/localtime /tmp/localtime.tmp; \
        else \
          rm -f /tmp/localtime.tmp; \
fi; \
rm -rf NSTimeZones; \
tar -xf NSTimeZones.tar; \
rm -f NSTimeZones.tar; \
if [ -f /tmp/localtime.tmp ]; then \
  cp /tmp/localtime.tmp NSTimeZones/localtime; \
  rm -f /tmp/localtime.tmp; \
        fi

the file is copied but then removed again. Who can fix this?

Regards,
