Fred:

I was able to install GNUstep via MacPorts; thank you for the suggestion!

Have a great weekend, all!

Most likely you have all this projects and libraries installed, but not the corresponding-dev packages. When compiling GNUstep needs the headers and linker libraries for these projects. These wont be used any more in the compiled version.

I also realize that you are working on Mac OS X 10.6. What are you trying to do? As far as I am aware compiling GNUstep on 10.6 is currently broken, even the base Additions wont work due to a problem with the new libobjc that Apple uses. You may be able to compile everything using MacPorts http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=gnustep, but I haven't tried this.

Summary:
gnustep-startup-0.23.0/configure is unable to locate X11.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download GNUstep Startup from http://wwwmain.gnustep.org/resources/downloads.php#core. The current version is 0.23.0.
2. Unarchive.
3. Navigate to resulting folder.
4. Run InstallGNUstep. It will run configure.

Expected Results:
I expected to proceed beyond configure. I don't know what I should specifically be expecting, as over the three years I've been reading and following this project, I've never tried to actually install it.

Actual Results:
A number of configure checks fail. The error relevant to this report states it is unable to locate X11. X11 is installed and available at /usr/X11/ with a symlink at /usr/X11R6; both locations are specified in the configure script section beginning at line 5778.
 
/usr/X11 is not empty, as demonstrated in attachment ls-laR-X11.txt

Regression:
The environment is Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a MacBook Air 1,1. X11 is 2.3.4, as provided by Apple. There is no newer version available for 10.6.x series systems. Development  environment is as included with Xcode 3.2.2 beta 1.

Notes:
The other failures, which I deemed (likely incorrectly) unrelated are related to the following missing libraries: libjpeg, libtiff and libpng, as well as an interesting one about an outdated libobjc. I'll ask about that one in a seperate item.
