Hi all,

I'm running FBSD 5.4-release-p7. I've had gs-gnu 7.07 installed from when I installed FBSD 5.3. I just installed scribus and it needs a newer gs. I set WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL=yes, deinstalled gs-gnu, installed gs-afpl, and did a pkgdb -F. Scribus now worked right but cups didn't. I tried portupgrade -f cups\* but it failed in cups-pstoraster (see below). I thought I'd try gs-gpl, but I can't find a WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL flag. A few messages on freebsd.org seems to indicate that gs-gpl is the default, but then why am I stuck with gs-gnu? Anyone have any words of advice on how to get an 8.x gs running on my machine with cups?

Thanks,
Micah

After digging through patches and problem reports, I was able to piece together something. cups-pstoraster seems partially broken. It works with gs-gpl only if GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT=print/ghostscript-gpl. I don't know if it will work with gs-afpl. I just don't want to recompile everything again just to see if it works. I now have a working cups /and/ a working scribus and GHOSTSCRIPT_PORT set in my make.conf.

Later,
Micah
