A closer look at the build guide reveal that, although setting $PATH is 
not instructed as a step to do, it is /mentioned/ somewhere:

   *Tool. *The destinction between Tools and Applications is that Tools
   are in your PATH environment variable.

After setting PATH="/usr/GNUstep/Local/Tools:$PATH" now I can run 
"defaults", but that just bring another problem:

zhangweiwu@Pyrrhus:~$ defaults write NSGlobalDomain "Local Time Zone" 
Asia/Shanghai
defaults: error while loading shared libraries: libgnustep-base.so.1.19: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory
hangweiwu@Pyrrhus:~$ locate libgnustep-base.so.1.19
/root/GNUstep/gnustep-base-1.19.0/Source/obj/libgnustep-base.so.1.19
/root/GNUstep/gnustep-base-1.19.0/Source/obj/libgnustep-base.so.1.19.0
/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.19
/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.19.0


I guess this problem again has something to do with environmental 
variables. But as said, I am a user not a developer, I don't know how 
library stuff gets loaded & found. Can anyone hint me how to get this 
thing work? Thanks.

Sorry for the stupid questions but I do feel the build guide is 
difficult to follow for newbies.
