Well, it doesn't sound like anything missed, and there are no patches to install.
One thing - if you had an old copy of GNUstep and have switched over to the new
directory layout, things can get confused (you can get incorrect paths built
into your libraries) - it's best to entirely delete the old copy and remove
any GNUstep environment variables before compiling and installing for the new
layout.
If, while gdnc is running, you type 'gdomap -L GDNCServer' you should get
output of the form -
Found GDNCServer on 'nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn' port nnn
telling you the IP address and port number on which gdnc can be contacted.
If you don't get this - try killing off the gdomap and/or gdnc daemons if
they are running.
Next, run gdomap with the flags '-f -d -d -d' (so it doesn't put itsself in
the background, and produces lots of debug output).
After waiting a while for gdomap to perform it's initial check for other
GNUstep machines on the network, in another window, run 'gdnc debug=yes' so
that gdnc doesn't put itsself in the background.
You should be able to see logs from gdomap showing gdnc registering itsself.
Then you can try launching an app - you should see the app register itsself
and ask for the port for the GDNCServer.
If you can't make sense of it - start again, using the script command in each
of your windows to capture the output, and send me the resulting files to
look at.
You should be able
