The <application>Ghostscript</application> build system is not

user-friendly. In order to use system copies of various graphics

<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 first install the released versions of these
|
|
libraries and then configure <application>GPL Ghostscript</application>
|
|
to link to them.
|
|
</para>
|

|

If you have installed these dependencies on your system, remove the

If you have a multicore computer and try to run make with multiple
|
|
jobs (eg, make -j4) then the build may fail due to race conditions in
|
|
the <application>Ghostscript</application> build system. You can work
|
|
around that problem by simply running make again (eg,
|
|
<command>make -j4 || make -j1</command>).

a postscript printer you will need to add

<option>--with-install-cups</option> to the configure options below.

(This option makes Ghostscript compile and install the gstoraster filter

and the gstoraster.convs configuration file that allow Cups to convert a

PostScript file to raster.)
