The GNUstep Apps fail to launch. I tried GNUmail, GMines and some more, but all of thm fail with the same output Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 'LDPATH="/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries:/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries" GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT="/usr/GNUstep"'>>/etc/env.d/99gnustep 2. /usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications/GNUMail.app/GNUMail Actual Results: ddc@localhost ~ $ /usr/GNUstep/Local/Applications/GNUMail.app/GNUMail 2005-07-26 22:52:15.000 GNUMail[17565] Unknown time zone name `Europe/Moscow'. 2005-07-26 22:52:15.000 GNUMail[17565] Using time zone with absolute offset 0. 2005-07-26 22:52:15.000 GNUMail[17565] No path specified for bundle 2005-07-26 22:52:15.000 GNUMail[17565] Improper installation: No language locale found 2005-07-26 22:52:15.000 GNUMail[17565] NSApplication.m:203 Assertion failed in initialize_gnustep_backend.

"ddc@localhost ~ $ su" ... you don't need to do that, defaults is set up per user...so unless you're running all your apps as root, I suggest not doing the su. Since the 'defaults' command was found, you did source GNUstep.sh, right? You may want to check /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/ for "convenience" scripts that I wrote -- since you like want to setup your GNUstep for Russian language, I suggest looking over the contents of those files and changing things accordingly. You wany want to set up the NSLanguages array to contain Russian, then English, 'cause I don't know how many apps have been ported to Russian, atm. So, as a test do this: # su - # /etc/init.d/gnustep start # exit # . /usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh # /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-base.sh # /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-art.sh # gpbs # openapp AClock After all this, AClock should be running happily. If it all works, then go back and change your settings (look over that config-gnustep-base.sh) to work with Russian. Please let me know if the above works.
Test was completed successfuly, but I still have troubles with some libraries: localhost ddc # ldd /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/mknfonts linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0xb7f09000) libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xb7ef9000) libgnustep-base.so.1.10 => not found libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ee6000) libobjc.so.1 => /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/libobjc.so.1 (0xb7ed0000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7eaa000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d76000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f76000) Still: localhost ddc # find /usr/GNUstep/ -iname 'libgnustep-base.so*' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.10.3 /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.10 /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so
It definitely sounds like you're not sourcing GNUstep.sh. You need to source this file *everytime* you log in. For, e.g, my .xinitrc looks like this: ###################################################### # GNUstep w/ WindowMaker ###################################################### . /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh gpbs make_services exec wmaker ###################################################### ... since I really don't use GNUstep from the commnand line, I don't add it to my .bashrc, but i could add it there too, if I wanted. Also, note that sourcing a script is different from running it -- that's what the "." does: it allows current environment to be modified -- if you execute it, then only the environment of that process will have the environment variables. After, sourcing GNUstep.sh, using your test, I see: -------- $ ldd /usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/mknfonts linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) ... libgnustep-base.so.1.10 => /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.10 (0xb7bdd000) ... /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef3000) -------- ... and this is why I tend to think you're still not sourcing that file. If this is the case, please let me know, if not also let me know. Since the tests I asked you to try suceeded, this is hopefully it.
It worked, but I didn't log out since my first message here, so it really seems strnge to me...
Forgot to mark this as closed; closed.
