Re: GNUstep StartUp on a Mac Powerbook

[Tabitha McNerney]

Thanks Adam. After I posted this message, I started again and got it
to work. I was probably too sleepy and blurry eyed when I first
noticed this error to recall what I had done wrong. I am happy to say
that I finally got GNUstep compiled and running on my Powerbook
running Panther (and running GWorkspace). On Tiger prerelease, I got a
segmentation fault when trying to run the same installation but that's
Ok as I don't expect GNUstep to run on Tiger. I have to say that
GNUstep with GWorkspace is very very fast after the initial caching
has been done. Its very nice and I can not imagine using anything else
for my daily X Windows desktop experience. Now I have to convince
others whom I work with to agree with me.

T.M.
