Bug 196289 – app-text/ghostscript-gpl doesn't install headers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sebastian 2007-10-18 14:15:33 UTC]

Hi all,

iapi.h and ierrors.h aren't installed so Imagemagick and others use internal routines for postscript. Already talked to upstream and they fixed it in cvs. Would it be possible to include this fix in 8.60? Patch is in URL box above.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ghostscript-gpl
2. Check for headers in /usr/include/ghostscript
3.

Actual Results:  
No headers

Expected Results:  
Headers installed

Wait, the patch doesn't work :) I'm gonna try getting in touch with upstream again.

Hoping for upstream input

Thanks for bringing this up Sebastian, I just committed an updated version with the upstream patch included. Please reopen if it doesn't work for you.

Thank you Timo, now it works.

Last rant: The headers are installed 755. The ijs ones 644. I'll report it upstream.

Btw. this version also fixes KDE printing for me. With 8.54 I wasn't able to print to PDF when font inclusion was enabled. With 8.60 this works again.

I reported the 755 issue to the same upstream bug mentioned above.

OK, fixed upstream: http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2007-October/007881.html

Fixed version in CVS, again thanks for reporting Sebastian.
