Well, the NXConstantString not recognising characterAtIndex: is a sure 
indicator
of a problem with the objc runtime library.

But if that message has gone, then you are probably going to need to use 
gdb
and get a stack traceback to find out what's going on where.

The fact that you had the NXConstantString message at all suggests you 
have/had
a bad libobjc, and it might be a good idea to either get the GNUstep 
libobjc and
build and install that, or (better) get a more recent gcc, as the 3.1.? 
series
compilers have the best libobjc versions available - Nicola merged all 
the GNUstep
changes (and some other improvements he did) into the official gcc stuff.
