Your compiler is correct here. GSStringFromBorderType isn't defined in 
Header/Additions/GNUstepGUI/GSTheme.h instead it is in 
Source/GSThemePrivate.h and this file isn't normally included by NSBox.

Here you can see that the function works anyway and yields some sensible 
result.

This is where the error happens, but where does this message come from?

Your back trace stopped at the NSBox call, that makes it hard to predict 
what you where doing when the error happened. I just compiled Cenon 
4.0.2 myself and started it up and it seems to work on my machine.
