Just to be smug......from page one of this thread

Very good to know. Thanks. So far I've tried a couple of experiments, and everything is running beautifully, with no Debug warnings.

Smivs, there are many,
many more elements of GNUstep in Oolite than the .GNUstepDefaults file. The heart of the entire application in Windows and Linux is GNUstep, actually.
What was the subject of this thread again?

I should probably have been a little more clear with my post earlier - the link to the wiki page was mainly for information and for the through-link to Berlios for the debug console if you did want it.
As I mentioned before basic-debug.oxp now ships with the game install itself, so there's no need to download and add any other versions of it (especially as they aren't compatible with 1.75.2 and onward).
But at least you've tracked the thing down now. I must admit I'd forgotten that there were at least two places where OXPs can go on a Linux install (depending on how it's done), it's been a while since I had to trash my Ubuntu install as it didn't play too nicely with my desktop's graphics card.

Things are running much smoother now. I've been adding a new ship in every two or three systems, or so, and have only run into a couple of glitches. I'm able to track down the problems in the Last Log entries better now, so it's easier to parse out the problems. I haven't gotten around to removing the GNUstep defaults yet, so maybe that will help in some way. I've been having way too much fun playing the game.

That's good to hear
Don't remove Gnustep Defaults. That's only needed to 'cure' a particular problem during game start-up.

Too late, I already removed the defaults, and GNUstep immediately replaced them. Seems I don't really nave an option of removing the GNUstep defaults.
