I have a lfs 6.2 system that I built on

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:
I found in the archives about how we're changing the default output
from bbox to x11. I'm not sure this change was ever tested through
gsview.

Richard, could you try to rebuild ESP again, but leave out the sed
about s/bbox/x11/? Also, did you build the shared library, or not? I'm
not sure this has been thoroughly tested, either.

Yes, I built the shared library for both ghostscripts.
I built ESP Ghostscript again, leaving out the sed,
and I got the same (or very similar) error when trying
to open a .ps file with gsview. Here is the error:

Wrong version of DLL found.
Found version 81502
Need version 704 - 919

Building AFPL Ghostscript again made the error
go away.
