[Fink-users] ghostscript vs. ghostscript-esp
Hi Citizens:
Somehow I managed to get ghostscript-eps installed instead of
ghostscript, and its ability to catenate pdf files appears to be
broken, so I would like to replace it with ghostscript.
I'm using this function to catenate some pdb files:
joinpdf () {
gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -
sOutputFile=merged.pdf"$@"
}
When I do this on my intel G5 imac, which has ghostscript-esp, two
pages that have images imbedded that I created from Apple's Pages
program by printing to pdf come out blank. The input pdf files are
fine. There are no warning or error messages.
Using identical input, the same works on my G5 ppc,which has
ghostscript-8.54-3, although I get some warnings:
joinpdf Science_supplementary.pdf figs_1s_2s.pdf Figure3S.pdf
Warning: File has an invalid xref entry: 17. Rebuilding
xref table.
This file had errors that were repaired or ignored.
The file was produced by:
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Quartz PDFContext
Please notify the author of the software that produced this
file that it does not conform to Adobe's published PDF
specification.
The actual output however is fine, and the figures are present.
When I try to install ghostscript on my intel iMac, this happens:
While trying to install:
ghostscript-8.54-3
The following inconsistencies found:
ghostscript-esp conflicts with ghostscript, but ghostscript is
installed
Trying to resolve dependencies...
Could not resolve inconsistent dependencies!
Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be
able to fix things by running:
fink scanpackages
apt-get update
apt-get install ghostscript=8.54-3
(the latter doesn't help).
I'm now completely stuck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Bill
PS: Another weird thing is ghostscript-8.54-3 isn't even showing up
on my intel iMac (unstable activated, updated an hour ago) with fink

[Fink-users] CERNLIB 2005 available on MacIntel from Fink
Hi, Many of you inquired about the possibility to get CERNLIB (including PAW) for MacIntel. Given that the CERNLIB makes extensive use of g77 features, CERNLIB did not compile properly for a long time using the Fortran compilers available on MacIntel. Thanks to the hard work of Jack Howarth and Jean-François Mertens, this changed during the last weeks. The gfortran compiler from recent GCC 4.2 snapshots does compile the CERNLIB correctly, i.e. all tests of the CERNLIB test suite succeed. Since today, gcc42 and cernlib2005 are available (*) through fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/). The patches required to make CERNLIB work on Mac (both on intel and ppc) are to a large extend based on work of Keisuke Fujii and Harald Vogt. Note that the CERNLIB package name changed from cernlib2005 to cernlib2005-g77 and cernlib2005-gfortran. The former is only available for ppc. I'm looking forward to get feedback from you. Enjoy, Remi (*) You have to enable the unstable branch (http:// www.finkproject.org/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable) to get access to them. -- Truth decays into beauty, while beauty soon becomes merely charm. Charm ends up as strangeness, and even that doesn't last, but up and down are forever. (Anonymous) * Remigius K.

Getting things like cron that are called a system level to look in / sw/bin for applications can be a little tricky. But at least for GUI apps (carbon/cocoa/etc.) there's a neat trick --- the environment.plist file: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html Two things to note here: 1) The Login window can sometimes be a little weird about reading this file, so you may need to reboot after writing it rather than just logging out and the logging back in. 2) Not *every* application respects the variables set this way. Which ones do is a bit of a crap-shoot (I've never found a pattern), but most should work okay. Really, though, the only solution I've found that works 100% of the time is to call things in /sw/bin using their full path. ~Nathan -- For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be... --- Alfred Lord Tennyson (Locksley Hall, 1842) PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part - Take Surveys.
