Re: [GNUstep] Error while trying to install

[Ghofrane Ben Younes]

Hello,

It was a permissions problem. 

The gnustep-make package was well installed but while configuring gnustep-base package, it couldn't acces to make files even if ./configure was runned by sudo. 

I had to change /usr/GNUstep/ permissions (from root to ec2-user) and then ./configure of gnustep-base package was able to acces to make files.

Thank you a lot for your help, now gnustep is well installed on my server and I can compile and execute objective-c code.

Regards,

ᐧ

That sounds like gnustep-make is *not* installed in /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles, but if the environment variable points there it's probably where it *should* be installed.
That suggests the installation of gnustep-make failed (perhaps you tried to install as a user without permission to install it there?) ... in which case there should have been error messages telling you about it.
I'd go back and check that if I were you.
