OK, I check out SVN repository again and recompile gnustep-base after I
installed zlibc, zlib-bin, however I have installed zlib1g, zlib1g-de
when this problem occure.

So after recompilation and installation of make I run tests with 'make
check' and get messages:
--->
5544 Passed tests
  11 Dashed hopes
   9 Skipped sets
   2 Failed builds
---<

base/headers/ObjCXX.mm:
Failed build:

base/NSObject/objc++.mm:
Failed build:

After this I compile base and again I get messages:
5543 Passed tests
  11 Dashed hopes
   9 Skipped sets
   2 Failed builds

After this I try to compile again gui but get the error:
 Linking tool make_services ...
/usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2: undefined reference to `gzopen64'
/usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2: undefined reference to `gzdirect@ZLIB_1.2.2.3'

So, I was thinking that that if I install zlibc and zlib-bin I can then
install gui but this isn't the case.

If there is not any further advices, I will give up here because don't
know how to solve the problem. :(
