<title>Installation of Ghostscript</title>
<note>
<para>The <application>Ghostscript</application> build system is not
user-friendly. In order to use system copies of various graphics
libraries, you must do it using unconventional methods.</para>
<para>First, if you wish to use the system-installed version of
<application>JasPer</application>, remove the local copy from the
source tree and apply a patch:</para>
<screen><userinput>rm -rf jasper &amp;&amp;
patch -Np1 -i ../ghostscript-&gs-version;-system_jasper-1.patch</userinput></screen>
<para>Next, if you wish to use the system-installed copies of
<application>libjpeg</application> and <application>libpng</application>,
remove the local copies from the source tree:</para>
<screen><userinput>rm -rf jpeg &amp;&amp;
rm -rf libpng</userinput></screen>
<para>If you wish to use the system-installed copy of
<application>libtiff</application>, add the parameter
<option>--with-system-libtiff</option> to the <command>./configure</command>
command shown below. Also remove the
<filename class='directory'>tiff</filename> directory from the source tree
to prevent the <application>Ghostscript</application> build from using any
of its local copy.</para>
<para>Unfortunately, <application>Ghostscript</application> will use local
copies of <application>Expat</application> and
<application>Zlib</application> from the source tree. There doesn't
appear to be an easy way to use system-installed copies of these libraries
without doing some hacking of the sources.</para>

following commands:</para>

<para>Begin by patching some vulnerabilities:</para>
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../ghostscript-&gs-version;-security_fixes-1.patch

<para><application>GPL Ghostscript</application> includes (old) copies of
several libraries. Some of these seem to have been patched to fix known
vulnerabilities, but others of these copies are less-well maintained.
To ensure that any future fixes are applied throughout the whole system,
it is recommended that you build the released versions of these libraries
and then configure <application>GPL Ghostscript</application> to link to
them. This configuration has several steps.</para>
<para>Unless you intend to build <application>GPL Ghostscript</application>
without support for <literal>JPEG2000</literal> files, apply a patch to
allow it to build against a current system-installed version of
<application>JasPer</application>:</para>

<para>Remove the local copies of <application>expat</application>,

<para>To ensure the build is able to use the system versions of
