Thanks!

I was quite surprised to have this configuration. But it's quite comfortable now. I don't want to go back to /user/local. And I discover the use of "GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=", which I use a lot to compile my own stuff. All is now in /GNUstep or in ~/GNUstep. Clear. In debian, I had things in /usr/lib/GNUstep (Windowmaker stuff by the distribution), /usr/share/GNUstep, /usr/local/GNUstep

I had to touch .profile because I have GWorkspace in Windowmaker's autostart file and because I want  GNUstep applications in WMaker's appmenu. bashrc doesn't help here.

Bertrand:

Correct! I intentionally installed things into /GNUstep to separate the GNUstep system from the rest of the base system. If you wish to install things in the expected places, small change to the main script (the one with spaces in its name) should be enough: just specify these outside the WITH_DEB==1 check:

export GSU_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

export GSU_SYSTEM_TOOLS=${GSU_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin

export GSU_LAYOUT=fhs

Also, I just verified, and the need to set up ld.so.conf.d is documented in README.md, and so is the need to touch .bashrc. (Perhaps I should update it to say .profile instead, but yeah...)

Well, Thank you fellow gentlemen for you help ;-)

Do not yet succed... Don't really understand how "to play with
LD_Library_PATH"...

Reading abou GNUstep, I found
<http://www.rstonehouse.co.uk/extras/GNUstep-VM-0.9.6>
gonna play with this wm 'til I'll get more confident with GNUstep...
But I still need to install on my laptop which is not really suited to
run Virtualbox ;-)

Later, Tristan
