Ooops, you're right, I got it backwards. I guess libgnustep-base is 
linking agaisnt the shared libraries, which means every time I want to 
build an app I need to include the libraries in the linking command 
(what a pain!) Does anyone know how to force darwin to include the 
static versions of the libraries in libgnustep-base? Do I have to move 
the shared libraries out of the way while I compile GNUstep? There 
should be a better way.

Okay, gdomap -N say nothing is registered. I guess this means there is a 
problem with gdnc right?

I did follow the README.darwin instructions during the build, but I 
didn't read about the daemons until after I sent this. I checked the 
source out of CVS probably a week ago, so I don't know what the exact 
versions are. Would you suggest I compile a stable release instead?
