Several other people have had this problem with 64-bit systems. My
advice before was to make sure the library (libobjc in this case) was
compiled with -fPIC (you might need to get the source and recompile
it, in this case you could get the gnustep-objc from ftp.gnustep.org/
pub/gnustep/libs). There might already be a 64bit version of libobjc
(or gcc?) in another location (/usr/lib64, for instance).
No one has ever told me if this has worked though.
You might also be interested in compiling a 32 bit version of GNUstep:

Hi,
I am trying to install Gnustep on our 64-bit Linux machine using
"Red Hat Enterprise WS version 4". We have the following error

The log file is also attached. Thank you.
