You can get a very easy, automated, installation of GNUstep if you use Gentoo 
Linux, just have to run 5 or 6 times emerge.

I have GNUstep on RedHat too, and the result with Gentoo, running under KDE, is 
not as pretty as the installation following these instructions 
http://documents.made-it.com/GNUstep/buildguide.html on RH and running it under 
WindowMaker; but it was easier.  By pretty I mean it works slowly but 
correctly, under KDE there are too many details that make things hard (menu 
items highlight below the cursor position, not under but about one item below, 
and such).

Following the instruction on the above link does take some time, but I think 
it's the recommended option.

Hope this helps.
