Many thanks ! I just got fed up playing guessing games with Fedora Core 20 and gave Ubuntu 14.04 a shot. To my surprise, it has come a long way and everything I tried worked at once ! Ivan had a script for installing GNUSTEP a while back but I'll try this way. I know its a little tricky as the dodges and cautions you've kindly shown indicate. Thanks again, Dr. J. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
