The undeclared identifiers have been renamed in ghostscript-9.18's headers.

Solution:

sed -e 's/ e_/ gs_error_/' \
    -i plugin/gs/gvloadimage_gs.c

Bruce, would you have a better solution and wish to to take this? If so, go ahead, please.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Will leave for the book, to see if somebody has better solution or disagrees
