+The most stable GNUstep [[backend]] currently is the one dependent on cairo. The libart backend is no longer actively developed. You may want to try one of the different backends by using the configure option "--enable-graphics=" with either art, xlib, opal or cairo as parameter.

+For configurations options see <code>./configure --help</code>. For example <code>./configure --with-layout=fhs</code> enables a more FHS-conformable filesystem layout. <code>./configure --prefix=MYPATH</code> will install into MYPATH instead of the standard /usr/GNUstep. Typical options are / (into root directly, as NeXT or Apple do), /usr/local/GNUstep, /opt/GNUstep.
 Extra configuration needed every time you use "GNUstep" from a command-line:
