ghostscript8 fails to build
Hi I am having problems building ghostscript8-8.63 from ports with the below errorsnip : multiple definition of `gs_shared_init' ./obj/../soobj/gdevl256.o(.text+0x780): first defined here gmake[1]: *** [bin/../sobin/libgs.so.8.63] Error 1 /snip After some googling about it seems this is an old issue with a conflict between lvga256 and vgalib. The fix seems to be to build it without SVGAlib, but so far I have failed to get it to do. Ill assume I am doing something wrong here as I am not a coder. Any help with how to actually get ghostscript8 to build without SVGAlib would be much appreciated ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Type 'make config' and disable the two SVGA lib drivers. You can use the PageUp and PageDown keys to scroll through the list of drivers. Disable anything you don't need. Then issue the commands 'make clean', and 'make install clean' to build and install the software.
