Description Patrick ALLAERT 2008-02-07 14:24:09 UTC

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.

I don't like that workaround. I've adjusted the dependency instead but I'd like like printing to take a look at this.

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 ghostscript-esp will be removed in the long run since it's no longer maintained upstream in favor of ghostscript-gpl.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! :)
