%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ ESP Ghostscript ESP Ghostscript is a versatile processor for PostScript data with the ability to render PostScript to different targets. ESP Ghostscript is a customized version of GNU Ghostscript that includes an enhanced configuration script, the CUPS raster driver to support CUPS raster printer drivers, and additional patches and drivers from various Linux distributors.

However, you may test the operation of the newly built gs program by issuing the following command (issue from an X Windows terminal): bin/gs -Ilib examples/tiger.ps Now, as the root user: make install To install the shared library libgs.so you will need . Note that the shared library is only used in external programs such as and . Proceed with the following commands as an unprivileged user: make CFLAGS_SO='-fPIC $(ACDEFS)' so Now, as the root user: make soinstall && install -v -d -m755 /usr/include/ps && install -v -m644 src/*.h /usr/include/ps && ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to /usr/share/ghostscript and ensure the ownerships of the files are root:root. Substitute [font-tarball] appropriately in the command below for the fonts you wish to install: tar -zxvf ../[font-tarball] -C /usr/share/ghostscript && chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts --without-gimp-print: This switch disables the building of the GIMP print driver as a Ghostscript device since this is deprecated. This driver may be still accessible via IJS or CUPS, and this is the preferred way. --without-omni: This switch disables the omni driver support. --without-ijs: This switch disables the IJS driver support. install ...: Some packages (ImageMagick is one) need the Ghostscript interface headers in place to link to the shared library. These commands install the headers. ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript: Some packages expect to find the interface headers in an alternate location.

It is built and installed only if is found. pstoraster ESP Ghostscript provides many different scripts used to render PostScript/PDF files back and forth.
