In ghostscript-gpl-8.57 ebuild 'soinstall' is commented out, so no libgs.so is installed. Because of this gsview no worky, as ir requires libgs.so, it seems.

What version of gv ? have you do a ldd /usr/bin/gv to see the dependency with libgs.so ? Any news for this bug ?
(In reply to comment #3) > What version of gv ? have you do a ldd /usr/bin/gv to see the dependency with > libgs.so ? It's app-text/gsview, not app-text/gv. It doesn't link against libgs.so, prolly dlopens or something. The program starts but spits out an error, saying the lib not found.
Ok sorry for the confusion, but I've installed and start the app (without open a ps file, just for test ...) without problem !? Have you some errors if you launch the app in a console ?? Can you send more details on this bug please ?

It's kinda pointless to have an app installed w/o actually using it :) > Have you some errors if you launch the app in a console ?? Can you send more > details on this bug please ? Sure. When you're actually trying to open a pdf file, it goes like: GSview 4.8 2006-02-25 play_sound: not implemented debug=0 Failed to load libgs.so: libgs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Can't load Ghostscript DLL
8.60 fixed this, thanks!
