A reply to my own post?
So far I seem to have solved part of a path problem: I'm embarrassed to
say it was misplacement of a file outside the stated path.
New problem: I need gv and ghostscript, packages available from fink,
but when I try to get and install them , I get this in Terminal:
leonards-imac:~ leonardwilliams$ sudo apt-get install ghostscript
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ghostscript
leonards-imac:~ leonardwilliams$
Same with gv.
Also, my PPC with Leopard had in its /sw/bin a very useful ps2pdf (self
described!) command, which I can't seem to find anywhere for download.
Any clues?
Many Thanks!
Leonard
