Description

When I installed LFS some time ago I didn't know BLFS and did all enhancements myself. Everything went fine - except viewing of PS/PDF in X. For printing cups brought its own ghostscript - no problems there.

So for a new LFS I'd be very lucky to have a description of

  • X installing with font issues (I think it's there now :))
  • ghostscript installing

If someone is interested, here's an output of kghostview when viewing a ps-file:

Error: /invalidfont

We need to discuss ghostscript (blfs-dev added to CC list in Bugzilla).

As I'm sure most of you are aware, there are two versions of ghostscript. the GPL licensed one and the AFPL licensed one. The GNU one is slightly behind (don't know how much off hand but it doesn't seem to be much at the moment).

Which version do we support? I don't have time to read the AFPL license at the moment and traditionally, I've personally always played safe by using the GPL'd version (and yes, I *have* read the GPL!).

Comments please - as replies to blfs-dev only please, we can then sum the discussion up with a bugzilla entry (and after that can whoever creates the summary remove blfs-dev from the Bugzilla CC list or it'll always get status updates on ghostscript)

To summarize what I've gathered from discussions from the blfs-dev list, I'm going to use ESP Ghostscript when writing this particular page. I'm also going to point out that ESPGS will utilize CUPS if it's there, along with HPIJS. I'll go ahead and remove blfs-dev from the CC list now.
