virtual/ghostscript installed app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3 some time ago. emerging app-text/libspectre-0.2.0 failed with: checking for libgs >= 8.61... no configure: error: You need libgs >= 8.61 in order to compile libspectre Replacing app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.3 by app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.61-r1 worked for me.

libspectre needs the include file iapi.h which is also available in app-text/ghostscript-esp. After manually copying the file from app-text/ghostscript-esp to /usr/include/ghostscript/iapi.h the build of libspectre works.

Please depend on ghostscript-gpl (or gnu), they are the successors of ghostscript-esp. ghostscript-esp will be removed in the long run since it's no longer maintained upstream in favor of ghostscript-gpl. Since you already fixed it in CVS, marking this fixed. Thanks! :)
