Hi Svetlana,
GNUstep Desktop requires a lot of system dependecies and specific
system configuration.
It will not run properly unless you install it as root.
Furthermore, be aware it might conflict with existing objc runtime /
GNUstep or other libraries on your sytem.
It has always been intended to be installed as the main desktop
environment with specific set of dependencies.
The best way to try it is to install it in its own VM (e.g. using
virtualbox).

additional
debian packages as root if needed.)
