It seems current Mandrakes do not apply this patch to the gnu ghostscript package :
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=224957&group_id=1897&atid=101897 This patch is necessary for LyX to render figures using ghostscript, so is important to at least a number of users. Since I'm not allowed to open a bug report, can someone else please do so ? thanks john p.s. apologies if this the incorrect forum - I'm in no mood for fiddling with "support forums" just to report a bug p.p.s. please Cc: me as I'm not on the list -- "By the way, it's not binaries, it's Perl code. Sometimes they look confusingly similar." - Pavel Roskin
