Hello,

I am trying to install ghostscript8 from ports on 8.0-RELEASE-p4.  The
build stops when
/usr/ports/print/ghostscript8/work/ghostscript-8.64/epag-3.09/ert is to
be installed in /usr/local/bin.  The error is file not found.  Error
code 71.  I tried going to the epag-3.09 directory:
make clean
make
The following warnings are produced:
ert.c:  In function 'printUsageAndExit':
ert.c:34: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in
function 'exit'
ert.c: In function 'main':
ert.c:52: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function
'malloc'
ert.c:55: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function
'exit'
ert.c:63: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function

ert.c:73: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function

'exit'
ert.c:87: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function
'exit'
ert.c:116: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function
'exit'

What can I do to resolve this problem?

You could always start by updating your ports.  At least that way, those
of us with current versions of the port would be able to look at the
same makefiles and so forth.  That said, go back to the main port
directory, make clean, make rmconfig, and build again; *don't* change
the port options when given the choice (after all, the port did build on
a clean system, so the problem's probably something you set up).  Also
make sure there's nothing relevant in /etc/make.conf.
Another point: if you still have the problem after following this
advice, copy-and-paste the actual errors, rather than trying to re-type
it.
Good luck.

Ghostscript8 compiled and installed ok. It was probably the rmconfig that fixed it. I had unset a lot of options that were of no value to me. Maybe one or more of them are not really optional.

Concerning the copy & paste, root is not running X so there is no copy and paste. I tried redirecting error output from make with 2>$HOME/make_error but make sees the redirection as an instruction it does not know how to do.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Fred
