Re: Compilation errors on SuSE 8.0

[Adam Fedor]

After installing gnustep-objc, you need to re-configure/install 
gnustep-make so it can pick up on the new libobjc (and the fact that it 
needs a threads library).

I'm not sure why ffcall failed. You might have problems later on running 
GUI apps without it, but try it and see.
