Usually -dev packages install the static libs and the includes, while 
the base packages install the shared libs.  I didn't think it was 
possible to install the -dev packages without the base package, but 
perhaps you figure it out...

This should be done automatically if you don't do it. But for testing, 
you should do it manually:

gdomap
gdnc

Then test to see that gdnc started running using:

gdomap -N

which should give:

Registered names are -
  GDNCServer


You don't specify what version of GNUstep base,gui, etc you are using. 
Also did you follow the README.Darwin instructions when installing 
this?
