ghostscript-afpl-8.13 is totally broken. No functionality at all. Reason: Ghotscript can't find it's initialization file gs_init.ps although it is installed in /usr/share/ghostscript/8.13/lib/gs_init.ps. Examples of the breakage: $ gs AFPL Ghostscript 8.13: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. $ ps2pdf /usr/share/ghostscript/8.13/examples/escher.ps AFPL Ghostscript 8.13: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. $ ps2ps -sPAPERSIZE=a4 /usr/share/ghostscript/8.13/examples/escher.ps foo.ps AFPL Ghostscript 8.13: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. Printing to ps or pdf from KDE, or viewers like kghostview don't work too because gs will error out with "Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps". $ emerge --info Portage 2.0.50_pre14 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.3_pre20031222-r0, 2.6.1-rc2-love1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.1-rc2-love1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.8 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fstack-protector -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/kde/cvs/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fstack-protector -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache fixpackages sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X acl alsa apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb cdr crypt cups dvb dvd encode esd faad flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imap imlib ipv6 java jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg mule ncurses nls nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline sasl sdl slang spell sse ssl tcltk tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
gsdatadir is set to 8.12-dirs instead 8.13-dirs in ebuild: # search path fix sed -i -e 's:$(gsdatadir)/lib:/usr/share/ghostscript/8.12/lib:' Makefile sed -i -e 's:$(gsdir)/fonts:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts:' Makefile sed -i -e 's:$(gsdatadir)/Resource:/usr/share/ghostscript/8.12/Resource:' Makefile
typo, gsdatadir is not set wrong, but search paths are set to 8.12-paths
