And this may well do it. I've had ESP ghostscript installed at the same time as Fink's, and the program that I was using found the ESP version (under /usr/local) rather than Fink's.
Try running "type -a gs" (assuming you're using bash as your shell). It should tell you where all of the instances of gs in your PATH are.
Thanks for quick turnaround, Alexander. There is but a single instance of gs. There are six more files with the same mod date 24 Aug 00:54, all beginning with the two letters "gs", all seven in /sw/bin.
I take it from your response that there might have been more than one set, and deletion of the wrong one would solve the problem.
Since I have but one, I suppose it is the ESP (wrong) version. (1) Is it OK & appropriate to delete those seven "gs" files? (2) How best to download and install the good ghostscript?
Thanks <wk>
I believe you've already gotten an answer that's more applicable to your situation (PATH issues?) but as a general note, it's extremely bad practice ever to delete files manually from within /sw. You can find out which package installed a file by running:
dpkg -S <filename>
e.g. "dpkg -S fink" will return all instances of "fink" in your Fink tree.
