Pascal,
WRONG. The "you need to be root" should *DEFINATELY* need to be more verbose, but the reason that it requires it is because it installs to /usr/GNUstep. A --prefix type flag would definitely be a good thing however.First problem, this compile-all script asks for root. There is absolutely no need to be root to compile and install gnustep or any other application software.
Perhaps you should try being less negative. People are more willing to fix/rewrite things if they perceive that you are trying to bring things you think should be modified to light in a positive way.Perhaps GNUstep would have more visibility if it could be just compiled and installed out of the box without having to delve in its depths, like any other package...
In any event, I think your points are most definately valid. Alex Perez
