I initially noted this at[http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail
/blfs-dev/2014-December/029088.html]
Asy (asymptote) fails while running 'asy' on various files to create its
docs. This is not unknown, the _separate_ upstream tarball mentions
copying pre-generated docs from, I think, sourceforge if texlive is broken
- but I first hit this on the texlive-2014 source which had been working
in BLFS-7.6.
After building in qemu (slow!), I now think that either ghostscript-9.15
or (less likely) poppler-0.28.1 is the culprit. I rebuilt LFS-20141124
and BLFS-20141127 with gcc-4.9.1 from LFS-7.6, proved that the problem
still exists with the separate upstream tarball, then went back to a copy
of my build from just after firefox and repeated with those two packages
reverted to 9.14 and 0.26.4 : and that worked.
I would like (if I can get both this and the i686 xindy problem resolved)
to use the separate versions of both of these packages, instead of
building texlive twice in the "from source" version.
So, I will note that asy links to Mesa (libOSMesa), GLU (libGLU and
libGL), fftw (not in the book, but I build it anyway), libtirpc, libgsl,
and libsigsegv - I think that those last four are probably optional, and
perhaps libtirpc is being pulled in by another lib : I cannot build a
working system without tirpc, because all my sources are on nfs.
Interestingly, asy does not link to ghostscript, but 'strings' shows
matches for libgs and /usr/lib/libgs.so.
Fedora have asymptote as a separate package (but then, much of their tex
stack is separated into small pieces), and they make it depend on fftw,
gc, gsl, latex, ghostscript, freeglut, OSMesa.
