No, this is the right group.  Or one of them, at least.

As for the answer, I can't be absolutely certain, but it's likely to be 
this (at least, this was the problem when I encountered the very same 
problem a couple of weeks ago)

I suspect you have a mixture of debug and no-debug frameworks installed.

What will happen in this case is that your debugging frameworks will 
link to libgnustep_d, and your non-debugging frameworks will link to 
libgnustep.  ldd your application and see what gives.  If this is the 
probllem, what seems to be happening is that one of the linked 
frameworks happily initialises, but then the other fails.

The problem seems to be that frameworks can't exist as both debug and 
non-debug versions (a sensible approach would be to have both debug and 
no-debug libraries in the same wrapper, but that doesn't happen with 
the current version of make)

The approach I took to fixing this was to uninstall everything, and 
make sure that I only installed debug versions of everything.

Yes, it's a pain.

Hope that helps.
