Fell right also ;-)

No, that's because I set it up that way. But I wanted not the strict
Linux file standards I wanted to have all installed below
/usr/local/OGo-Gnustep 

I do not think there is something like make uninstall to otherwise get
rid of all the files. And I'm quite happy that it all has turned out
to work :)

Sure you are right, but as above mentioned I did not want the stuff in
in /usr/local/lib  but below the OGo-Gnustep pages. The reason I
wanted that is that I may or may not install GNUstep in parallel. And
indeed I got that installed also here. I start getting both
libraries, and AFAIKT is the libFoundation of Ogo not GPLed. IMHO that
is a good thing.

I found this subdirectory later. But have not looke into it.

Because of your message I got somewhere in the end. The major problem
was mixture of GNUstep stuff and OGo stuff, this simply does not work
it seems.

Now I'm trying to get my brain around the enterprise objects and
webobjects and Objective-C in between. 

I really can not understand why one would like to do C++ if one can
have Objective-C.... 

Thanks to all for you help
