That would be 0.6.5 :-)
0.6.6 is due out RSN

The only GNUstep binary that would be attempting to run would be the
make_services tool.  The error message suggests that you have a copy of
make_services that was built for some other system installed - though I'm not
sure how that could be (unless you have installed on top of an older version?)

I believe that the FreeBSD port is OK (though I have no personal experience
of it) - but you may need to remove the NXConstantString class from your
libobjc.a before linking any GNUstep programs.

I quote from an email from dave@turbocat.de -

Perhaps this should be in a HOWTO for BSD installation.
