Bug 142724 – net-print/ghostscript-esp-8.15.1_p20060430 doesn't install public header

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2006-08-03 17:49:20 UTC]

I wondered why imagemagick woudn't build with ghostscript...


6222:configure:44037: checking ghostscript/iapi.h usability
6223-configure:44049: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O2 -march=athlon64 -pipe -fforce-addr -mfpmath=sse -funit-at-a-time -Wall -pthread -I/usr/include/freetype2   conftest.c >&5
6224:conftest.c:221:30: ghostscript/iapi.h: No such file or directory
6225-configure:44055: $? = 1
6226-configure: failed program was:
6227-| /* confdefs.h.  */
6228-|

does not get installed here either and does not do any harm to imagemagick - also you are the only one seeing this.

How can I reproduce it and help you find a solution for your problem?

Same here. Well, I'm using ghostscript-gpl, though. I'm missing ghostscript/iapi.h and ghostscript/ierrors.h for instance.

I came upon this when watching the compile of imagemagick with 'gs' in USE:

-------------------------------------------------------------
Checking for Ghostscript support
-------------------------------------------------------------
checking ghostscript/iapi.h usability... no
checking ghostscript/iapi.h presence... no
checking for ghostscript/iapi.h... no
checking ghostscript/ierrors.h usability... no
checking ghostscript/ierrors.h presence... no
checking for ghostscript/ierrors.h... no
checking for gsapi_new_instance in Ghostscript framework... no
checking for gsapi_new_instance in -lgs... yes
checking if Ghostscript package is complete... no -- some components failed test
checking for RSVG... no

So ghostscript without headers renders USE=gs useless, at least for imagemagick.

Please reopen!
