I'm absolut new to GNUstep and Objective-C. As a longtime user of
WindowMaker, I now want to try a recent version of GNUstep. Because the woody
stuff is really old, I've started backporting a newer release from Debian/sid
(some weeks ago). Compiling and Building the debian packages was a job for an
weekend. But there's an problem, while running the application. I can't
figure out what is going on with the system.
Here's the list of the installed packages:
ii gnumail 1.0.99-1.jd1
ii gnustep-back 0.8.5-1.jd1
ii gnustep-base1 1.6.0-2.jd1
ii gnustep-base1-dev 1.6.0-2.jd1
ii gnustep-gui0 0.8.5-1.jd1
ii gnustep-gui0-dev 0.8.5-1.jd1
ii gnustep-make 1.6.0-1.1jd1
ii gnustep-ppd 0.8.5-1.jd1
ii image-viewer 0.6.0-7.jd1
ii wmaker 0.80.1-6
ii wmaker-data 0.8-2
ii wmakerconf 2.8.1-1
ii wmakerconf-dat 0.62.0-1
If I try to start a program (image-viewer, gnumail) from with the windowmaker
menu, the xserver (XFree 4.1.0) crashes and restarts immediately. So I've
tried to start image-viewer within a xterm shell. I've got the following
error messages (repeated several times):
,----

What does that mean?
The type-1 `helvetica' fonst is installed....
