Hi !
After lagging of any input about a posting i sent to this list i just
tried to install ghostscript 5.50 by myself. First I tried to install the
rpms, but i always received an error that installing conflicts with files
from ghostscript 4.... - so i deinstalled the old ghostscript package.
Now I receive the following error when i try to install the packages with
the commands
rpm -ihv ghostscript-5_50*
missing dependencies:
ghostscript-fonts is required for ghostscript-5_50-3
so i installed the font package first getting the missing dependeny error,
that ghostscript is required for ghostscript-fonts-5_50-1.
Because that looks like running in circles to me i gave the source install
a try. I selected the required makefile for my gcc (version 2.7.1.2). A
configure file does not exist, so i went over to start make (after
softlinking the unix-gcc.mak to makefile) and receive the following error:
make: *** No rule to make target 'jpeg/jpeglib.h', needed by
'obj/jpeglib.h' . Stop
I can provide the output of make, maybe that gives a hint of what is going
wrong (pretty big file). I tried to fix this problem by compiling jpglib,
png and zlib that come with ghostscript 5.50 and i had no problems to
compile and install these. The font archive didn't include anything besides
font files, so I copied those after unpacking to
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts. The different instructions and install
manuals that came with it didn't help me with fixing the problem.
Right now it looks as if i have no working ghostscript version at all, but
have some fragments flying around in my system where i have no clue where
they are.
What do i have to do to get a running version of gs5.5 ?
How can i get rid of the stuff i installed from the source ?
This is my actual system:
RedHat 5.2
kernel 2.0.36
gcc version 2.7.1.2
And this is what i want:
Install a running and working gs 5.5 for using the driver for a HP DeskJet
880/890/895 printer and use this printer filter for printing to a HP DJ
895Cxi on a network.
