<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>
</note>
<para>Install <application>GPL Ghostscript</application> by running the
following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-dynamic &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>This package does not come with a test suite. However, you may test
the operation of the newly built <command>gs</command> program by
issuing the following command (issue from an X Windows terminal):</para>
<screen><userinput>bin/gs -Ilib -dBATCH examples/tiger.eps</userinput></screen>
<para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install docdir=/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version; &amp;&amp;
for INSTFILE in `ls doc`
do
if [ ! -f /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/$INSTFILE ]; then
install -v -m644 doc/$INSTFILE \
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;
fi
done &amp;&amp;
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/figures &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 doc/figures/* \
/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;/figures</userinput></screen>
<para>To install the shared library
<filename class='libraryfile'>libgs.so</filename>, run the
following additional command as an unprivileged user:</para>
<screen><userinput>make so</userinput></screen>
<para>And again as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
user:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make soinstall docdir=/usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version; &amp;&amp;
install -v -m644 base/*.h /usr/include/ghostscript &amp;&amp;
ln -v -s ghostscript /usr/include/ps</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>The shared library depends on <xref linkend="gtk2"/>. It is
only used in external programs like <xref linkend="gsview"/> and
<xref linkend="imagemagick"/>.</para>
</note>
<para>To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to
<filename class="directory">/usr/share/ghostscript</filename> and ensure
the ownerships of the files are
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:<systemitem
class="groupname">root</systemitem>. Substitute
<replaceable>&lt;font-tarball&gt;</replaceable> appropriately in
the command below for the fonts you wish to install:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>tar -xvf ../<replaceable>&lt;font-tarball&gt;</replaceable> \
-C /usr/share/ghostscript --no-same-user</userinput></screen>

<sect2 role="commands">
<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><command>install ...</command>: Some packages
(<application>ImageMagick</application> is one) need the
<application>Ghostscript</application> interface headers in place to link
to the shared library. These commands install the headers.</para>
<!-- <para><command>ln -sv ... /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-&gs-version;</command>: This puts
the documentation where it is expected to be found.</para> -->
<para><command>ln -v -s ghostscript /usr/include/ps</command>: Some
packages expect to find the interface headers in an alternate
location.</para>
