Re: Failed GNUstep installation on Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 platform

[Germán Arias]

As I know, the latest version of Cenon only works with GNUstep from SVN.
If you remember, George send some patchs to GNUstep. Since Cenon is
developed with Cocoa and needs some changes to run with GNUstep. I have
Cenon installed on my machine, and works fine, but of course I have
GNUstep from SVN.
