Re: Library Paths?

[Steve Núñez]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the suggestions. I suppose I forgot to mention that I have
run /opt/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh and I still experience
these problems. I also did 'make install', but no joy. I also added the
path to the /etc/ld.so.conf, but the same thing. I'll give opentool a try
and see if that helps. 

Regards,
