It's very simple for newcomers: Install the GNUstep runtime from your operating system's packages, don't think about version numbers. On FreeBSD:
# portinstall gnustep-libobjc Optionally one of the following: # portinstall clang # portinstall clang-devel # portinstall gcc46 Or use the gcc (4.2.1) from the base system if you only need Objective-C 1 support. Or (more likely) install a metapackage for GNUstep and don't care about the runtime at all. If a typical user needs to think about the Objective-C runtime at all, let alone its version number, then we've done something quite badly wrong elsewhere. David On 21 Feb 2011, at 15:24, Dr. H.
