I've been trying to install GNUmail on my system (X.6.5) but keep running into 'configure failure' problems. Macports is up to date.

On trying to install the dependencies individually (SQLClient, Performance, gnustep-base, oniguruma5, and Pantomime), I'm always informed that gnustep-base failed to install. Here are the last parts of the main.log files (lines beginning with four blank spaces are continuation lines) when trying to install
______
GNUmail:
:msg:main --->  Dependencies to be installed: Etoile SQLClient Performance

gnustep-base:
:info:configure checking whether objc really works... no
:info:configure I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce :info:configure working binaries! Please check your Objective-C compiler installation. :info:configure If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and
    libobjc
:info:configure can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play
:info:configure with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf.
:info:configure Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help. :info:configure configure: error: The Objective-C compiler does not work or is not
    installed properly.

Pantomime:
:msg:main --->  Dependencies to be installed: gnustep-base
:debug:main Starting logging for gnustep-base
:error:configure The following dependencies were not installed: gnustep-base
:error:configure Status 1 encountered during processing.

SQLClient:
:msg:clean --->  Dependencies to be installed: Performance gnustep-base
:debug:clean Starting logging for gnustep-base
:error:configure The following dependencies were not installed: Performance
    gnustep-base
:error:configure Status 1 encountered during processing.

The log file for gnustep-base seems to suggest that there is no functioning Objective C compiler. How do I address this? EasyFind is able to find hundreds of 'objc' files and folders, but I guess that doesn't prove anything.

Help figuring out what I need to do, and check, would be much appreciated.
