Re: [NSDictionary DictionaryWithContentsOfFile] question

After doing some tests and getting at some dead ends it looks  I had an 
incorrect xml2-config file and removing it solved all trouble, 
apparently....

because, when I tried to make gnustep/base it failed at the link stage with 
the following error:
==============

OK, it looks like I'm missing a DLL/ library, but which one?
