You can always source GNUstep.sh to set everything up, but if you  
configured/installed gnustep-make using the native filesystem layout,  
you don't need to.

The simple point to remember is that, if you install using the native  
filesystem layout, then the GNUstep libraries are in the same  
directories as the operating system libraries, so you don't need to  
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
