- I'm very new to the wonderful world of Imake et.al. However, I did
- compile ghostscript last night (and on the first try!).
-
- I umpacked the gs252 directory, did a xmkmf to regenerate the Makefile,
- did make, and went out to watch TV. When I came back it was done.
-
- I am using a very valnilla system consisting of HLU's base disk and
- gcc disks under Linux 0.98p3+ (the + is Linus's emergency fix).
-
- This is probably no help but at least you know that the problem isn't
- in GhostScript 2.5.2. Therefore, it must (?) be something in
- your paths.
