Fwd: Ah, got gnustep-back built, now a different error

[stefan]

Hi,

Any clues what can be wrong? I have perfectly working GNUstep from CVS
(unfortunately for this situation) so I can not reproduce described problems.
Here is a summary of forwarded email with several suggestions:

1. -back was not installed

I think that back is a bit obscure thing for end users. It is natural to
developers, but why should anyone have to install it separately? Would it be
possible to make -back transparent to the average user somehow? I mean, that he
should not even know that there is something like gnustep-back, only -base and
-gui. Everything that is not in direct contact with user should remain hidden.

2. Unknown time zone name `CST'.

3. Unable to launch gnustep services

3.1 Unable to launch gdomap on app launch

AFAIK there is a default for disabling gdomap and using some local naming
technique. Would not it be better if the default was turned on by default? This
will remove requirements for gdomap.

3.2 Unable to connect to gdnc on app launch

Thanks for any help,

Stefan

I looked a while at that last error I wrote about then I noticed in the 
gnustep packages there's a thing "gnustep-back" and built that. Now 
openapp Farmer.app produces some different errors.

I'm pretty sure this one is another environment problem. I've run into 
this kind of thing with GNUstep before. The authors assume you are 
willing to just install anything in the user shell and fill up the 
environment with variables and processes, but I don't want to until I 
know it is worth it.

Here's the way it goes.  Note it hates CST, it wants me to start soem 
gdomap thing before running Farmer.app.  It advises me to start a 
service "gdnc" and I've not looked into it.  I can tell  you for sure 
the gnustep install did not drop a "standard" service thing into 
/etc/rc.d/init.d or such.

After that, I tried running "gdomap" and "gdnc" programs on the command 
line before starting farmer.  After that, it appears I've launched some 
program that won't die, or some such disaster causing me to manually 
kill processes, because this happens, but nothing else:

$ ./run
afsimulator: no process killed
