It's very simple for newcomers:
Install the GNUstep runtime from your operating system's packages, don't think
about version numbers. On FreeBSD:
# portinstall gnustep-libobjc
Optionally one of the following:
# portinstall clang
# portinstall clang-devel
# portinstall gcc46
Or use the gcc (4.2.1) from the base system if you only need Objective-C 1
support.
Or (more likely) install a metapackage for GNUstep and don't care about the
runtime at all. If a typical user needs to think about the Objective-C runtime
at all, let alone its version number, then we've done something quite badly
wrong elsewhere.
