That looks fine to me ... so my best guess is you built base without support
for NSDateFormatter.
That would happen if you are on a system where ICU is not installed or can't be
found:
You should have seen a warning about that when you ran 'configure' for the base
library.
The fix would be to rebuild base with ICU (I don't know slackware, but I guess
you might need to install an ICU developer package).
A workaround would be to use NSCalendarDate rather than NSDateFormatter
