I did use the prefix option but I also tried without but I can try again otherwise that is the order I did things.
The weird thing is when I install gnumake it installs into a directory like the following... /usr/GNUstep/share/GNUstep/MakeFiles I am wondering if there is an issue there. Thanks to everyone for all of their help.

If you use --prefix= with the other packages, you will probably be overriding the correct locations, and putting things where they are not expected (so headers/libraries won't be found later when you try to use them). > > > > > > > > > > >
