Re: Issue: GNUstep installation on Ubuntu 16.04

[Patryk Laurent]

Hi Mark,

This may be related to an issue reported by Josh Freeman on this list in late 
April (4/23). The crashes he observed also had to do with graphics.

To work around it I think he simply checked out slightly older versions of the 
GNUstep repos.  Josh provided an altered compilation script to do this as an 
attachment to his emails to the list. 

Regards,
Patryk
