Why no-X11 ghostscript?

2005-12-28 Thread Rodrigo Medina
Hi, If I am not mistaken, gs-X11 does everything that gs-no-X11 does, then why distributing gs-no-X11 at all? A lot problems may arise due to the presence of two different programs with the same name. Of course all the programs of the package should go into /bin. Bye Happy holidays R.M. --

Grace peculiarities

2005-12-28 Thread Rodrigo Medina
Hi, Two questions about GRACE: 1- Why is the folder of GRACE in /usr/ and not in /usr/share/ as everything else? 2- Why there is in /bin/ a soft-link to xmgrace.exe while the actual program is in /usr/grace/bin/ ? Soft-links are not equivalent to the actual program, e.g. a Windows

Hi, There are two different gs programs distributed, one linked to the X11 library which is put in /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe and another no-X11 that goes into /bin/gs.exe. Here starts the problem: two different programs with the same name. Actually if you have X11 there is no reason of installing the
