Installing GNUStep on Fedora Core
In the journey of installing GNUStep on my Fedora Core machine, I noted couple of useful pointers
that could help you save sometime.
* Install GNUStep Make from yum repository (yum install gnustep-make)
* make (compile source) and install GNUStep Base
You will need the following:
export GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES=/usr/lib/GNUstep/Makefiles/
* make (compile source) and install GNUStep GUI
You need to update ldconfig.
vim /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gnustep.conf
Add the content below and save:
/usr/local/lib/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu
Execute:
/sbin/ldconfig
* make (compile source) and install GNUstep Backend
You will need the following:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/ix86/linux-gnu/gnu-gnu-gnu

serialize/unserialize php API - an observation
On first request, I was saving the object into session.
On second request, I retrieve the object from session for re-use.
I realized that on second request, the class Users_Model definition
is not available on the page load and unserialize API is not working as expected.
$_SESSION values are saved using serialize API (as session.save_handler was set to files)
On making the class definition available before session_start() call,
the $retrieveUserInstance worked fine.
$userInstance = new Users_Model();Make sure the class Users_Model definition is available.
$_SESSION['__key'] = $userInstance;
On second request, I retrieve the object from session for re-use.
$retrievedUserInstance = $_SESSION['__key'];
object(__PHP_Incomplete_Class)[1]I noticed the $retrieveUserInstance object missed several methods!!
public '__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name' => string 'Users_Model' (length=11)
private 'id' => string '1' (length=1)
// ...

object(Users_Model)[1]Hope it saves sometime for you.
