If you installed GNUstep without setting the --with-library-combo 
option, you would get the gnustep-base additions library compiled, 
which are just some extra classes and functions that you can add into 
the MacOSX Cocoa libraries (e.g. library-combo defaults to 
apple-apple-apple).

In that case, all your apps are compiled with Cocoa libraries, so you 
would probably need to

#include "GNUstepBase/GSCategories.h"

or

#include "GNUstepBase/GNUstep.h"

I think, perhaps, what you really wanted to do was install the full 
GNUstep libraries to compile native GNUstep apps.  In that case, you 
need to configure gnustep-make with

./configure --with-library-combo=gnu-gnu-gnu

Then re-install gnustep-make, source GNUstep.sh and 
re-configure/compile/install gnustep-base.  See

http://www.gnustep.org/information/README.Darwin

for more complete instructions.
