I think this is a new one.
The blfs development book says that either AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 or ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 are required for Gsview-4.7. I originally installed ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 because I understood from the book that it has support for CUPS, whereas AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 does not. However after installing gsview-4.7 I got the following error when trying to open a postscript file:
<snip error>
I also noticed in the Gsview readme file that AFPL Ghostscript was specifically mentioned as a requirement. So I uninstalled ESP Ghostscript and installed AFPL Ghostscript instead, and I was able to open the same postscript file without any problems. Has anyone successfully used gsview-4.7 with ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2? If not I'm wondering if ESP Ghostscript should be removed from the list of prerequisites for gsview-4.7 in the book.
It's been a long time since I used gsview, and I have no idea if it works with ESP. Could you open a bug about this? You need to create an account and then click New Ticket here: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ Incidentally, AFPL Ghostscript is now GPL'd, so I think ESP can go away after a while. http://www.ghostscript.com/awki/News Thanks for the report. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
