Re: GNUstep won't install on Mac OS X 10.3.8

[Adam Fedor]

Installing onto MacOSX requires a bit more setup than normal. The main  
thing is that you need to install an FSF version of gcc, since the  
Apple gcc will not compile GNUstep properly. gcc also comes with  
libffi, so install that as well (sometimes it is not installed  
automatically). See this for more information:
