Well, this particular problem comes from the ffcall package. I think  
because you specifically need shared libraries for ffcall. If  
InstallGNUstep installs ffcall itself it tries to do this. So you could  
either just uninstall ffcall, or recompile it yourself with  
--disable-static --enable-shared.  Of course there are likely all kinds  
of other problems as GNUstep is not 64-bit clean.  Perhaps look here  
for more info:
