ghostscript-gnu-8.16-r2 as well as r1 (haven't tried others) don't set the correct search path and ghostscript doesn't find important scripts like gs_init.ps This makes printing to a pdf as well as cups not work You can see this by issuing gs -h which outputs mafalda@batistuta # gs -h ....... Search path: . : /home/batistuta/.fonts : /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-gnu-8.16-r2/image//usr/share/ghostscript/8.16/lib : /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-gnu-8.16-r2/image//usr/share/ghostscript/8.16/Resource : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript/ For more information, see /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-gnu-8.16-r2/image/usr/share/ghostscript/8.16/doc/Use.htm. Report bugs to bug-ghostscript@gnu.org. According to documentation this path comes from a macro GS_LIB_DEFAULT int the makefile. I'm not sure who sets that macro, but it's problably something with the ebuild or some wrongly set environment variable I'm running gcc 4.1 but I have also tried with gcc 3.4.6 with same results.

I've found an old thread with someone having the same issue so I'm not the only one. There must be some environment variable or something that is messed up. Any hints how I can can trace the search path up the the point where it gets generated? I'd like to find the cause.
When I "emerge sync", as it updates the Portage cache, I get: Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild. !!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/ghostscript-0) I thought maybe it was a fluke or something, so I emerge sync'd it again and got the same thing. Kareem

But if you insist, I'll re-emerge it again. Thanks, Kareem
please use -esp or -gpl, thanks
