Problem installing GNUstep

Hi developers,

Here is a feedback concerning GNUstep installation and it seems to be
still troublesome for people. I think that any feedback is good and
leads to improvements.

Non-GNUstep related parts of the original email were removed.

Installing GNUstep is trouble, for what reason I don't know.  I went to
http://www.pbone.net and found GNUstep RPMS for Fedora Core 2.
They installed cleanly, but didn't work at all.  WHen I tried to compile 
Agent Farms, I got all kinds of abuse about having the wrong locale, 
wrong time, and it could not find the base class, NSObject.  So I got 
the SRPMs and rebuilt on my machine, and that was OK.  SO, apparently, 
even having an RPM for FC2 does not suffice to assure GNUstep is 
properly installed.

In the docs where it offers the 4 methods of setting the time, it is not 
clear how I can set the time correctly.  It says I can go fishing in the 
zones directory, where I see a bunch of things, but I don't know how I 
am supposed to use them. And the example usage of defaults, as you show 
below, has GB at the end, but it does not explain that is a localization.

Your example command below runs and does not return an error, hurray
