Thanks for the link. Ghostscript and linux-printing in general is in transition to make use of large memory available acording to the link ( copy ALL and paste in browser) below:- http://www.listware.net/201007/linux-cups/101252-cupsgeneral-sense-and- nonsense-of-ripcache.html pstoraster is crashing as not enough memory is allocated in version-8.7.1. ( I have crashes even will allocation of 1GByte!) I have important applications sitting on ghostscript-8.7.1 (including qt4, so I am reluctant to rip-it out uinless the RIPCache problem is fixed. Input from anyuone on list who has tried GPLGhostscript9 will be much appreciatd. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
