I fetched and installed gnustep-make-1.5.1, gnustep-base-1.5.1,
gnustep-gui-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm and gnustep-gui-0.8.3-1.i386.rpm from 
http://ftpmain.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/rpms/srpms/.

But when I tried gnustep-back-0.8.3 from there too, it failed like so:

 Compiling file XGGLContext.m ...

Have I missed something?


Also, I noticed after installing  Pantomime-1.1.0pre1 that the TODO
list doesn't mention what I feel is the only serious problem with
Pantomime: it uses far too much memory, because if you open a large
mailbox it appears not to load the message bodies on demand, but as
soon as you open the mailbox.

This knocked it out of contention as a MUA for me, simply because it
couldn't handle big mailboxes (50MB and up).  It also makes it slow to
open big ones.

Because of the build problem, I didn't get a chance to see whether any
work had been done on that issue.
