After I installed gobjc++-4.4 package on my Debian Squeeze system, I
configured and builded gnustep make again.

I have installed follows:

$ aptitude show libxml2
Package: libxml2                         
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 2.7.8.dfsg-2
Priority: standard
Section: libs
Maintainer: Debian XML/SGML Group
<debian-xml-sgml-pkgs@lists.alioth.debian.org> 
Uncompressed Size: 1745 k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg)

$ aptitude show zlib1g 
Package: zlib1g                          
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3
Priority: required
Section: libs
Maintainer: Mark Brown <broonie@debian.org>
Uncompressed Size: 176 k
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5)

I configured and builded base again and run 'make check' with results:
5543 Passed tests
  11 Dashed hopes
  10 Skipped sets
   4 Failed builds
   1 Failed test

After that I try to configure and build and install gui but still get
errors: 

Making all in Tools ...
Making all for tool make_services...
 Linking tool make_services ...

make[3]: *** [internal-tool-all_] Error 2
make[2]: *** [make_services.all.tool.variables] Error 2

Any advices to go further?
