Erm, what I wrote below was for a limited definition of "test". I have now realised that, while it compiles and installs just fine, and shows the X11 devices when asked (gs -h), it does not work the way ghostscript 8 does in combination with texlive. In particular, graphics included as eps files don't display in xdvi with ghostscript-esp, but they do if I swap in ghostscript 8.
I don't know whether this is expected behaviour, or something in the configuration that is missing, but I thought I'd mention it, in case it saves someone else time figuring out why things aren't working for them. cheers, -- Viv On Sun, 15 Nov 2009, Viv Kendon wrote: > Many apologies for taking this long to test something that > only took 3 mins to try (I have been extremely busy).
