I've got base 1.1.0 and gui 0.7.5 - do these not work?  They are certainly 
marked as 'stable' releases in gnustep.org.  I also have gdomap and the other 
daemons working.
WHen I say 'this did not install the Foundation', what I actually meant was 
that running 'gcc -Wno-import -ggdb helloworld.m -o helloworld -lobjc' on code 
such as:
***
#import<Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import<stdio.h>

@interface helloObject:NSObject
{
}
- (void)sayHello;
@end

@implementation helloObject

- (void)sayHello
{
    printf("Why a good morrow to you all!\n");
}
@end

int main()
{
    id politeGreeting;
    politeGreeting=[[helloObject alloc] init];
    [politeGreeting sayHello];
    return 0;
}
***
produces the error:
"helloworld.m:1:33: Foundation/Foundation.h: No such file or directory
helloworld.m:6: Cannot find interface declaration for `NSObject', superclass of 
`helloObject'"
Now if I'm invoking the compiler incorrectly, please tell me.  If I'm 
#importing the file incorrectly, please tell me.  This is what I'd do on a NeXT 
system (only the NeXTs I have access to predate the Foundation).  I notice that 
Apple have added a -framework option to gcc -- should I be using this?

However even if the above is true, it doesn't explain the compilation errors 
with gnustep-back.

Thanks,

Graham.
