Hi Russel,

the output of these log files is fairly easy to interpret. You just need
to look at the file with the highest number, in your case
06-back-config.log. Close to the end of the file you find:

configure:8215: result: no
configure:9016: checking Backend Server
configure:9018: result: x11
configure:9021: checking Backend Graphics
configure:9023: result: art
configure:9031: WARNING: can't find freetype, required for graphics=art
configure:9036: WARNING: can't find libart, required for graphics=art
configure:9044: Switching to xlib
configure:9147: error: libXt not found - required for building x11 server

This means that you are missing a lot of the libraries GNUstep back
needs to compile. You may have these libraries themselves installed, but
not the development version of them. Normally this is in a separate
package with an -dev extension. Just use the package manager of you
choice and keep on adding these packages until you make the configure
script of GNUstep back happy.
It may help to have a look into the other configure logs as well, as
some additional libraries may be missing there. Even though these are
not essential to run GNUstep, you may want to install them as well.

Hope this helps
Fred
