Comment:
It turns out to be /bin/gs which is the problem, although I am still none
the wiser about what changed.
I've now successfully installed asymptote-2.32 after installing gs-9.14
into /opt/oldgs and changing the entry for defaultGhostscript= in
settings.cc. It looks as if only the gs program itself, plus the
supporting files from share/ghostscript/9.14 [ certainly, files from
Resource/Init/ ] are needed. That is, libgs.so is required for conversion
from eps to pdf, but the version from 9.15 is ok.
I plan to take a look at building 9.14 for /usr, with its gs installed to
/usr/bin/oldgs. And moving to separate asymptote instead of using whatever
was shipped in this year's texlive.
Found some more test examples (using them to create PDFs without involving
TeX). It looks as if freeglut might be neded to do 3D graphics with asy -
on my first attempt, it told me to install libGLUT and recompile asy. I've
now done that, but needed a few changes to the examples before they
worked, so I'll need to test that part again. But freeglut might be on
its way back from the archives.
