Dear List,
pst/espgs.html, for ES Ghostscript 8.15.2,
was last updated 006-06-21 11:26:07 -0500, but could do
with some more work.
The 'configure' script tests for the presence of glib-2.0 (by way of
gmodules-2.0) and also for glib-1.2. You don't mention glib-2.0,
though glib-1.2 is implicit in gtk-1.2 (which, oddly, doesn't seem
to be tested for specifically). Was gtk-1.2 a mistake?
Less important, but probably relevant in several other pages (I'm too
lazy to check...), there's an improvable build instruction too.
tar -xvf ..//<font-tarball>/ -C /usr/share/ghostscript &&
chown -v root:root /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*
It's true that unpacking as root won't automatically convert to
the current root:group, but it can be made to do so with
tar -xovf
which makes the following chown unnecessary.
And, indeed,
tar -xmovf
will use the current date and time as the modification time-stamp,
which is a Good Thing for keeping track of installation times.
This seems to me to be more generally useful than whatever date
the original tarball preserves, though it is fun to see just how
old some of the files in TeTeX are alleged to be (they used to
have by far the oldest time-stamps in my system).
Yours faithfully,
Bernard Leak.
