Are you *sure* it's nonsense?
The reason I ask is that it's quite a common error to assume that
development packages of libraries are installed, when in fact only
the runtime libraries are installed. To build software (such as
gnustep) you need the development packages which include headers
etc.
Yes I am sure.
First, I have the Yast window in front of me which shows me that the
packages are there. BTW, I always install the -devel packages for
everything that is listed as a prerequisite as a matter of principle
and if only out of paranoia.
Second, the installation script for gnustep-startup does report that
those libraries are missing, BUT the configure scripts in the other
packages (ie -make, -base, -gui, -back) also perform the check for
those libraries and confirm that those libs are there.
Ah ... I hadn't noticed that you were using gnustep-startup ... if the
individual packages find the libraries and build, then it's fair to
assume an error in the gnustep-startup configure scripts.
Well, quite possible, but the startup configure script does the same
checks the individual packages do. It would be nice to see the logs
files
