I have successfully installed it on Red Hat 6 GNU/Linux x86-64, and three dozen more platforms will soon follow. However, in looking at the ghostpdl-9.16rc1/README.txt file, I find >> ... >> ....

When I did the build, it created main/obj/pcl6 and xps/obj/gxps, but the other two were not made. The "make install" target only installs the pcl6 executable, which is also at variance with the README.txt file. Are these minor glitches in the Makefile(s), or a case of documentation not matching the code? There are no executables named gsvg or pspcl6 in the completed-build tree. Finally, I noted some spelling errors: ghostpdl-9.16rc1/README.txt: implemenation -> implementation ghostscript-9.16rc1/doc/{Details8.htm,History8.htm} [several instances] recieved -> received The advent of a new release is a good time to fix spelling errors and other typos in documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
