Sorry, but you are asking the wrong question here. Nobody did reply to
your mail, because nobody can confirm it isn't working. Most likely it
is possible to use GNUstep on Darwin 9.7 on Intel, but I never tried it
myself.
I think you rather would want help with the actual problem you are
seeing. From the error message you sent I would say that the first
GNUstep program that gets executed fails. This happens in the
installation of gui, but as it is the first program to run, this could
already be a problem in base. You better go back to your base
installation and check that. The tests that used to be in base have been
moved into our standard test framework, you will need to download that,
in the SVN repository you find it at tests/testsuite.
