GNUstep on Debian PowerPC

[M. Uli Kusterer]

Hi,

 I've been meaning to get my hands on GNUstep. As I failed to get it 
running on OS X, I yesterday installed Debian for PowerPC, as I heard it 
has an easy-to-use package manager and GNUstep in its repository of 
packages.

 It worked rather nicely. Once I had Debian and X11 running, installing 
GNUstep wasn't much of a problem. It's even running happily along with 
KDE.

 Now, just one problem: I tried to install the developer stuff and I 
constantly get errors in dselect (conflicts & requirements). Most 
notably something about libxml2. And whenever I just hit enter to have 
it resolve the conflict, it just pops up the message again.

 I'm starting to realize how much MacOS has spoiled me.

 Does anyone have an idea what I might be doing wrong? I can see no 
message anywhere that might hint at what I'm supposed to do. I tried 
turning on/off stuff, but it is as if I'm caught in and endless loop.

 And one more question: Do the debug frameworks and dev headers include 
things like Gorm and Project Center? If not, where can I get them?

Cheers,
