Description Tomasz Cichecki 2003-03-24 04:58:04 UTC

With emerging ghostscript Everythings goes well but when I want to run it 
complains: 
knight@asteroid knight $ gs 
ESP Ghostscript 7.05.5: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps, but all the files 
ghostscript needs are on their place. 
The most strange of all is when I type `gs --help or gs -h` I can see the 
following(the last few lines of the information gs gives me): 
 
Search path: 
   . : /home/knight/.kde/share/fonts : 
   /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.5/image//usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib : 
   /var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.5/image//usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : 
   /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript : /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : 
   /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType : /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base : 
   /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 : /usr/openwin/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 
For more information, see 
/var/tmp/portage/ghostscript-7.05.5/image//usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/doc/Use.htm. 
 
I don't know how those "/var/tmp/portage..." got compiled into the execuable (I 
search the elf executable in vim and indeed they are compiled in and I can't figure 
out or find a configuration file) 
The resualts are that for exemple kghostview in KDE doesn't show PDFs in 
konqueror. (Its launches KGhostView which seems to launch ghostscript which in 
turn fails).

Traced it to a problem in the glib2 .pc. Cf bug #24385 which I've just submitted 
about it. Can't do anything further on this myself atm as I'm leaving linuxtag for 
home but won't get there for a couple of days.
