Type on the command line

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

It should work, but if you've got problems with that, please let me know.

I think the 'gnustep howto' document inside gnustep-make might be of help.

Ok - thanks for reporting - we'll add an explanation to the INSTALL file
then :-)

Maybe we should also make the "You must run the GNUstep initialization
script first!" sentence more explanatory, it seems that it has been
confusing for you.

If you have any more suggestions on how to make it simpler/easier, let us
know.

Thanks.
