I just noticed something from your configure output... Your system is picking up libobjc2, not libobjc2. After checking for all the directories, the script does a check for the library and it is using the GCC version of the library, not the one you built. I would just uninstall gobjc altogether.

See if that help you any when configuring/installing make.

What exactly is wrong? Are you having a specific problem or are you just not seeing the directory? The GNUstep directory isn't created until you first use it, usually when setting a default or something. The system doesn't know under which user to create it.

I haven't had to do an install from complete scratch in a while, so my memory might be fuzzy... I believe libobjc2 should be installed before GNUstep make. It uses Cmake as it's build system and is independent from the rest of the GNUstep build system.

Yep! I've read 'bout this several places, that's why I did install libobjc2 before everything else!

Did you source GNUstep.sh? Just saying it to .bashrc is not enough. That file only gets sourced when you start a bash session. If you're building a system with GUI, I would suggest putting it in .xinitrc or .xsession, depending on how you start X.

YES Sir, I did source GNUstep.sh (both by hand and programmatically)

Hopefully this helps you some.

Not really yet, but let me thank you anyway Stefan.

Later,
