Hi
I am trying to build GNUstep on SUSE 9.2 (virgin install with all devl
packages installed) but it seems to me that GNUstep doesn't like SUSE, at
least not 9.2.
If I try to use the gnustep-startup package, it complains about missing
JPEG,
TIFF and PNG libraries, which is nonsense because those libraries are
installed and they do show up both in Yast utility or with rpm -i. I guess
the GNUstep check is broken.
Are you *sure* it's nonsense?
The reason I ask is that it's quite a common error to assume that
development packages of libraries are installed, when in fact only the
runtime libraries are installed. To build software (such as gnustep) you
need the development packages which include headers etc.
