Re: [Fink-users] Ghostview/Ghostscript Unknown Device Error

Okay, I think I solved my own problem. I have Gerben Wierda's teTeX distribution installed and this distribution includes a ghostscript 6.01 installation (in /usr/local/share and /usr/local/bin). Because /usr/local/bin occurs before /sw/bin in my PATH variable, Wierda's ghostscript is being

This isn't a problem with your system. fink update shows new package versions because they have been updated in the _source_ distribution. However, the _binary_ distribution probably hasn't been updated in a while, so you won't have any version updates via apt-get upgrade. On Mon, 2002-08-12 at

fink should never have issued that command. If it did there is likely something wrong with your fink installing. And you should wait for someone else to help you, since you where installing fink-0.10 I finigured it was a new isntall and you issued that command. [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thanx.
