Ok, I did not explicitly do any make debug=yes.  I just did make when  
beuilding the sope-appserver stuff and the samples.

I will go and do an explicit make debug=yes everywhere.

Actually, in reviewing the web instructions, it has a ./configure -- 
enable-debug showing for building SOPE so I guess I do have it built  
that way.

If I do, in the sample HelloWorld or HelloForm, make debug=yes, I  
still get the error.

Yes, I did make and make install the gstep-make that comes with SOPE  
4.5.

Does that  make a new version of make or just set up the environment  
in the GNUStep directory?  The latter is what it appears to do from  
the make install output messages.

I will look in to that. I was just following the .build it. page(s)  
from the SOPE website with the MACOSX notes.

I think this may actually help with the XCode problems as well...  I  
am NOT an XCode guru, like I said, and probably could be more  
efficient in my Cocoa programming if I were :-)

Nothing compiles for me and I get over 100 errors before it gives up.  
I will mess around with it some more to see what I am doing wrong.   
Let's not worry about this at the moment.

We don't run any Linux in our shop so it is not an option.  Sorry.
