Newbie alert: Can't install Project Center

[Sierra Bravo]

Thanks in advance to everyone reading this...

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy on a Lenovo Thinkpad, and have installed all the gnustep packages that I thought I'd wanted through Synaptic (ultimately, I want to learn and program Objective C through its frameworks).

Everything installs fine. However, I'm unable to download and install Project Centre (Project Manager IDE appears on the menus, and I'm able to run it...but the Project Type window appears blank, and I'm unable to proceed further).

I can compile the downloaded source of Project Center ('make' works fine) but not install (make install), as it fails reporting:

GNUmakefile:5: /common.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:103: /aggregate.make: No such file or directory
GNUmakefile:104: /application.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/application.make'.  Stop.

I'm sure I'm doing something dumb...TIA for any help

Ps: Why Project Manager ID and Project Center? They sound very close...

I'm not sure about your other questions, but if you are using sudo to  
install, your shell is probably wiping out your environment as a  
security measure. To get around this, try either:

sudo su
. /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh
make install

or

sudo make GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles install
