Description Markus Krainer 2002-05-09 09:46:50 UTC

Hi!

Although I have the USE="-X" var set, ghostscript-6.53 insists of installing
xfree-4.2.0. So it would be nice if the ghostscript ebuild could make use
of the --without-X configure option.

To proof that it's possible I made a simple ebuild for the new GNU ghostscript
7.05 version (yes, its *GNU* ghostscript) and it works perfectly without X.

BTW: I think it would be useful to have a "gimp-print" USE variable that for
example the ghostscript and the cups package could use. (should this be a
seperate bug?)

ebuild for ghostscript v7.05

This is the ebuild I used to install ghostscript 7.05 without X.
