Re: Problem with the GNUStep packages in FreebSD?

[Wolfgang Lux]

Hi Edwin,

I'm not a FreeBSD expert, but from the error messages it looks like you've 
accidentally uninstalled the gnustep-gui library. I guess something like
  pkg install gnustep-gui
should fix this.

Maybe the problem is a bit deeper, though, and the upgrade from FreeBSD 12.1 to 
12.2 has removed some libraries that gnustep-gui depends upon (directly or 
indirectly). In that case, presumably uninstalling the gnustep packages and 
starting over again is your best option.
