Yeah, that was a typo on my end. I meant your configure script is finding a libobjc, not the libobjc2 library that you should/want to be linking against.

Hmm... Somehow configure is finding that library, though.

Why do you say it is wrong? This line seems correct to me. You installed into /usr/GNUstep and these are the standard directories for the gnustep layout, which is what you selected at configure time.

It isn't needed, yet. There is no reason why it would exist, at this time.

The GNUstep.sh script modifies this variable. And you paths all look correct.

What problem, specifically, are you running into at this point? I guess it could be that I'm misunderstanding or overlooking it. As things stand, it looks like your environment is correctly set up and ready to go.
