GNUstep not installing properly

[Frank J . R . Hanstick]

Hello,

After installing GNUstep via MacPorts, I got the following error when trying to open Project Manager:

Library not loaded: WizardKit.framework/WizardKit Referenced from: /opt/local/GNUstep/Local/Applications/ProjectManager.app/ProjectManager

Reason: image not found.

I filed a ticket (#23261); but, notice that the port is not maintained by anyone.  I download to install GNUstep without MacPorts and encountered the following configuration error when trying to configure gnustep-base:

configure:8393: checking whether objc really works

configure:8454: error: The Objective-C compiler does not work or is not installed properly.

The platform is a dual 1.73 GHz PowerPC Quicksilver running MacOS 10.5.8 and the GNUstep revision loaded via svn was 29303. The gcc compiler according to config.log is:

configure:1905: gcc --version </dev/null >&5

powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)
