2175	gsview-4.7 cannot open .ps files with ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2	rkm	Randy McMurchy	"I have a lfs 6.2 system that I built on my computer according to the lfs 6.2 book. The blfs development book says that either AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 or ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 are required for Gsview-4.7. I originally installed ESP Ghostscript-8.15.2 because I understood from the book that it has support for CUPS, whereas AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 does not. However after installing gsview-4.7 I got the following error when trying to open a postscript file:

-------------------------------------
I also noticed in the Gsview readme file that AFPL Ghostscript was specifically mentioned as a requirement. So I uninstalled ESP Ghostscript and installed AFPL Ghostscript instead, and I was able to open the same postscript file
without any problems. I'm wondering if ESP Ghostscript should be removed from the list of prerequisites for gsview-4.7 in the book."	defect	closed	normal	6.2.0	BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed	gsview ghostscript
