The SL 3.0.x ghostscript package ghostscript-7.05-32.1.13.i386.rpm
seems to have built incorrectly.
# ps2pdf Application.pdf Application.ps
GNU Ghostscript 7.05: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps.
- gs and gv give the same error.
# rpmquery -l ghostscript-7.05-32.1.13.i386 | grep gs_init.ps
/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/gs_init.ps
# strace -eopen ps2pdf Application.pdf Application.ps 2>&1 | grep
gs_init.ps
open("./gs_init.ps", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib/gs_init.ps",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/vflib/gs_init.ps",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/gs_init.ps",
O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/gs_init.ps", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/gs_init.ps", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/fonts/default/amspsfnt/pfb/gs_init.ps", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/fonts/default/cmpsfont/pfb/gs_init.ps", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
GNU Ghostscript 7.05: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps.
So the package puts the files in /usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/
but the apps look in /usr/share/fonts/default/... and
/var/tmp/ghostscript-7.05-root/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib
I'd look at a patch myself but it is the end of a long week and I have
a family event this evening.
