thanks for the response...

I am a debian newbie so did not think of using unstable to get more 
recent gnustep.  The stable version were older than I wanted.  But I'll 
give this a shot.  I assume I just add an unstable source to my 
sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/ unstable main ...

and then execute your apt-get above.

My other question - none of the howtos give any directions on properly 
uninstalling gnustep.  Since I've already built make, base, and gui 
from source, I want to remove them before using apt-get.  Is it safe to 
assume I can just remove the root GNUSTEP directory, or do I need to 
remove header files and libraries elsewhere in the system?  Is there a 
make deinstall command that will work?
