Alex: did you only try the default build? It's perhaps not clear, but
the issue is with the Ubuntu package, which uses a (patched) so build.
Till provides the following instructions:
apt-get source ghostscript
to download the source package of Ghostscript.
Then enter the package source directory
cd ghostscript-8.60*
See the patches in debian/patches/ build instructions in debian/rules
and the build via
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Allow core dumping with
ulimit -c 999999999999
Then execute the program with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./sobin/ sobin/gsx
and start the debugger with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./sobin/ gdb -c core sobin/gsx
Under Ubuntu Ghostscript is built for maximum flexibility. The
./configure command line is:
LDFLAGS="-lpaper" ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info \
--with-ijs --with-jbig2dec --with-jasper --with-x \
--disable-gtk \
--enable-dynamic --with-omni --enable-cups \
--disable-compile-inits \
--with-drivers=ALL \
--with-fontpath=/var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/fonts:/usr/share/cups/fonts:/usr/share
+/ghostscript/fonts:/usr/local/lib/ghostscript/fonts:/usr/share/font
Note that for our package to build we do not use a simple "make" after
"./configure" but
make so
make obj/X11.so
