Sorry if this duplicates a discussion you've already had, I didn't see any recent posts about it.
I have a lfs 6.2 system that I built on my computer according to the lfs 6.2 book. The blfs development book says that either AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 or ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 are required for Gsview-4.7. I originally installed ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 because I understood from the book that it has support for CUPS, whereas AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 does not. However after installing gsview-4.7 I got the following error when trying to open a postscript file: -------------------------------------- GSview 4.7 2005-03-25 play_sound: not implemented debug=0 DSC Information At line 1527: (\146\000\151\000\154\000\145\000\072\000\057\000\057\000\057\000\150\000\157\000\155\000\145\000\057\000\162\000\153\000\155\000\057\000\142\000\154\000\146\000\163\000\055\000\142\000\157\000\157\000\153\000\055\000\143\000\166\000\163\000\055\000\150\0 Lines in DSC documents must be shorter than 255 characters. Wrong version of DLL found. Found version 81502 Need version 704 - 919 -------------------------------------- I also noticed in the Gsview readme file that AFPL Ghostscript was specifically mentioned as a requirement. So I uninstalled ESP Ghostscript and installed AFPL Ghostscript instead, and I was able to open the same postscript file without any problems. Has anyone successfully used gsview-4.7 with ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2? If not I'm wondering if ESP Ghostscript should be removed from the list of prerequisites for gsview-4.7 in the book.
