I've installed GNUstep on Ubuntu16. The installation was performed
according to this guide for Ubuntu: http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/GNUstep_under_Ubuntu_Linux
and it went as smoothly as possible.
The four GS Applications named above all fail in the same way. Here
is a backtrace running under gdb and started with open app. The
applications all fail in [NSApplication _init]
while setting up a graphics context.
The interesting thing is that I can compile and run a simple GUI
program (taken from the wiki page, and shown at the bottom of this
message) and it runs fine!
If anyone has any hints or ideas of where to start, I'd appreciate
it. It is probably something fundamental.
Thanks,
Tom

=================================================
The installation seems to have gone smoothly enough that I can
compile and run a simple GUI program ... and it runs fine. This
example is from the same wiki page, and it compiles and runs without
an error.
#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>
int main()
{
NSApplication *app; // Without these 2 lines, seg fault may occur
app = [NSApplication sharedApplication];
NSAlert * alert = [[NSAlert alloc] init];
[alert setMessageText:@"Hello alert"];
[alert addButtonWithTitle:@"All done"];
int result = [alert runModal];
if (result == NSAlertFirstButtonReturn) {
NSLog(@"First button pressed");
}
}
