The bug tracker is consulted frequently and we correct reported bugs as 
much as possible… hmm, I'm unable to find similar it on the tracker, 
may be your bug has been closed because it was not reproducible and 
more details were needed (and we haven't received them), may be it has 
been fixed but not correctly : to know more I need the bug number to 
check it… And have you checked the state of your bug report ?
Just a quick note, it is better to submit the bug report with a mail 
address in order we can contact you directly for more details and you 
get notifications when it is edited.

More details are needed here : Mac OS X version, Apple developer tools 
version, FSF GCC version, gnustep-make and gnustep-base version (for 
cvs version, the date is needed)…
When have you tried to install it the last time ? Was it a cvs version 
? When you talk about README, do you mean the README.Darwin ?

You can encounter some problems with the latest Mac OS X and Apple 
developers tools versions for the README.Darwin instructions (to have 
libxml, libxslt correctly detected), I plan to correct this problem 
soon.

Thanks,
Quentin.
