Compile error for GNUstep on x86_64 SUSE

[Simon Walker]

Hi

I received this compile error for GNUstep on SUSE x86_64, from the
GNUstep-startup-0.23.0 package. The error is in 04-base.log, and it
claims that I should try and recompile with the -fPIC flag.

How would I go about that? Which script do I need to edit to add to
CFLAGS? I have tried running gnustep-build's configure script with
CFLAGS+=-fPIC but I get the error:

gnustep-base-1.19.1> ./configure --prefix=$HOME/build
--with-config-file=$HOME/etc/GNUstep.conf
./configure: line 1401: gnustep-config: command not found
configure: error: You must have the gnustep-make package installed and
set up the GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES environment variable to contain the path to
the makefiles directory before configuring!

I'm sure this is not a bug, but something I have missed in the compile
options but your help would be appreciated. I have tried running

./InstallGNUstep --prefix=$HOME/build
--config-file=$HOME/etc/GNUstep.conf CFLAGS+=-fPIC

but this failed with the same error message.

Thanks
