library name for ESP GhostScript is out of date

[Arnold the Frog]

In the BLFS page for ​ESP Ghostscript (current live is svn-20070505, Last updated on 2007-04-18, 21:03:08 -0500) the installed library is given as "libgs.so". This used to be true, but now it's libespgs.so .

... and the executables gs, gsc, gsx are now espgs, espgsc, espgsx

[Arnold the Frog]

Note that this affects the test line
bin/gs -Ilib -dBATCH examples/tiger.eps
which should now read
bin/espgs -Ilib -dBATCH examples/tiger.eps

Using a fresh 20070630 LFS build and a recent build of ESP Ghostscript, I must disagree with everything in this ticket. I'm not sure what the OP did during the installation to cause filename changes. Note:
