Hi,

I have installed Ghostscript7 from Gerben Wierda's i-Installer.
gv doesn't work anymore. It says "Unknown device X11Alpha"

Yes, GW hates X11 (or did until it was officially recognized by Apple). That's why his ghostscript is compiled without X11 support. Recompiling gv won't help. You need a gs with X11 support. Either from Fink or, maybe, the latest one from GW (?).

I tried to rebuild it but it fails when linking.
I don't send all the messages on the list because there are numerous...

[warnings snipped]

symbol __XtSetDefaultSelectionTimeout used from dynamic library
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.6.dylib(Selection.o) not from earlier dynamic

symbol _XCreateFontSet used from dynamic library

This is Apple's install_name bug in action. Run Ben's install_name_fix.pl script. If you recently recompiled things that link to X11 libraries, you might need to do it again. Xaw3d comes to mind.
