I've tried using libobjc2 with the other runtimes from the linux repo. I couldn't get it to work, but it sounds like other people have under certain circumstances. Hm, I'll give that a try,. But to build a product, I want to know that my users can install it without all the monkey business.

Something clicked (about 3 this morning) about version 1.9. I’ve assumed this was the version in the Linux repos due to their typical bureaucracy. But more research tells me that 2.1 cannot compile using gcc. I never choose gcc myself. But the linux repo maintenance tools such as Launchpad depend
