Dear all,

Is there any reason for the exclusion of the Ghostscript '.so' library
from the ghostscript package?  If users (i.e. me!) want to use gsview
or any other software that links into ghostscript dynamically, they
have to compile the library themselves.  Apparently, Fedora includes
it, so I was wondering if it would be possible to add it to Arch as
well.  I think that all that is required is to add a "make clean;
configure; make so; make soinstall" (with the appropriate options etc)
to the PKGBUILD.  Alternatively, I guess it could be in a separate
package, but I wouldn't know how to go about this...

Thoughts/opinions?

Al
