Re: Little Installation Problem.

[Daniel J Farrell]

Hello everyone,

I think I spoke too soon!

I have downloaded the newer packages I could find from ftp:// 
ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core

gnustep-make-1.11.2
gnustep-base-1.11.2
gnustep-gui-0.10.2
gnustep-back-0.10.2

And run the usual installation commands for gnustep-make packages:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
sudo make
sudo make install

I then have to run the GNUstep shell script like this:

. /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

because I get an error when I run it as sudo . /usr/local/GNUstep .....

For some reason the password that works for sudo doesn't work for su  
root? Strangle because I installed the system! Is this the problem?

I then move on to the gnustep-base packages by doing:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep
sudo make
sudo make install

Everything seems fine.

I then move on to the gnustep-gnu packages:

sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/GNUstep

However, when I do,

sudo make

it goes through compiling all the NS source files but stops here:

Making all for service GSspell...
 Compiling file GSspell.m ...
 Linking service GSspell ...
 Creating GSspell.service/Resources/Info-gnustep.plist...
././shared_obj/make_services: error while loading shared libraries:  
libgnustep-base.so.1.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or directory
make[2]: *** [GSspell.service/Resources/Info-gnustep.plist] Error 1
make[1]: *** [GSspell.all.service.variables] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/daniel/Desktop/GNUstep/gnustep- 
gui-0.10.2/Tools'
make: *** [internal-all] Error 2

Do you have any suggestions?

Kind regards, Daniel.
