#2629 closed enhancement (fixed)

GPL ghostscript-8.64 (updates AFPL, can replace ESPGS)

Description

This version works well, specifically 'make && make so && make install soinstall' - works fine with cups-1.3 (no idea about older cups). Therefore, we could drop ESPGS.

This, or at least an 8.6x version, is needed by libspectre which is a dependency for okular in kde4.

Patch in -patches to compile agaisnt system libjasper, needs 'rm -r jasper'. It now uses system libraries (if found) automatically for the other included libs (zlib, libpng, jpeglib).

I have used ghostscript-8.63 with an old cups version of 1.2.11 and it works without problems. Well, BLFS uses 1.2.12 so I guess, there should be no problems.
