Objective-C error for GNUmail install attempt

Mon Jan 10 14:24:54 PST 2011

After updating macports under Mac X.6.5 I tried to install GNUmail 
1.2.0pre3.
This failed because gnustep-base install failed, because, according to 
the logfile,
Objective-C doesn't seem to work properly.

Should I do a ports install of 'objc 3.2.8'?  There already are 
'libobjc' files in
/usr/lib, but I don't know if that's relevant.

Here are the response, and related log file, when I tried to install 
gnumail for
the 2nd time (after adding the line
   '. /opt/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh'
to ~/.profile to enable GNUstep make to work).

Thanks for all suggestions.

:info:configure I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler

compiler installation.
:info:configure If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's 
libgcc_s and libobjc
