Description Pascal Bourguignon 2010-07-11 12:44:51 UTC

Launch gsview dotguide.ps.gz 
it displays "Failed to load zlib DLL. Press OK button for help."
zlib is configured in uses flags in /etc/make.conf, and installed.
(It seems gsview doesn't have a zlib use flag anyways).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.type at the shell: gsview dotguide.ps.gz RET


Actual Results:  
it displays "Failed to load zlib DLL. Press OK button for help."

Expected Results:  
gsview would find the /usr/lib/libz.so, load it, uncompress the file, and display it.


In addition to that bug, it would be nice if it wouldn't talk us about "DLL", but about shared libraries...
