It depends on how you installed GNUstep before. If the previous  
install is in /Library/GNUstep, then you can just remove that, or if  
you intentionally put it somewhere else, remove that.

There are two ways to install GNUstep.  If you just configure and  
install the packages as is, they are compiled and installed to work  
with Apple's Cocoa libraries.

If you use gnustep-startup, they are compiled to be stand-alone (i.e.  
separate from Cocoa). FYI, GNUstep will compile on 10.5, but it won't  
work, AFAIK.
