Gorm 0.9.2? That release is over a year old (released Feb 28 2005) - seems
Ubuntu has some really outdated packages in it's repositories.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to checkout the CVS, or take a look through the Web
CVS interface, every attempt timed out (tried it from three different locations)
- seems SourceForge.net's CVS system is totally overloaded. Anyhow, I guess your
problems lie in out-dated packages. What version of nib2gmodel and GNUstep
libraries do you have installed? I suggest you upgrade to the latest stable
releases of both.
