[gentoo-user] How to install ghhhostscript ?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I want to reinstall ghostscript.

I did for checking reasons:
solfire:/root>emerge -pv ghostscript

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] virtual/ghostscript-0  0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB


"Ok...let's do the real thing", I thought:

solfire:/root>emerge ghostscript

Nothing really happens...steps were announced but it seems,
they were not executed...

What did I wrong here ???

If you have eix installed, run the following:
# eix ghostscript -I -C app-text --only-names | xargs emerge -pv
and then
# eix ghostscript -I -C app-text --only-names | xargs emerge

better to do it just once:
# eix ghostscript -I -C app-text --only-names | xargs emerge -va

The point here is that there is more than one version of ghostscript. I use ghostscript-esp (emerge -av ghostscript-esp). There is also ghostscript-gpl and ghostscript-gnu available in portage. This is due to licensing issues. Ghostscript is a commercial company, the Linux versions are relicensed.

There is no need for using ghostscript-esp anymore as GPL Ghostcript
8.57 and ESP Ghostscript 8.15.4 have been combined to GPL Ghostscript
8.60 in August 2007.
So there is only ghostscript-gpl and probably ghostscript-gnu.

Daniel,

Thanks for the info. I am only using ghostscript-esp as it was pulled in as a dependency by cups. Looks like I need to upgrade.

Best regards,

John

Re: [gentoo-user] How to install ghhhostscript ?

[meino.cramer]

While trying to install ghostscript-gpl I got this one:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] app-text/ghostscript-gpl (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-esp-8.15.4-r1)
[blocks B     ] app-text/ghostscript-esp (is blocking app-text/ghostscript-gpl-8.62)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.


It seems there is still a difference ?!?!

I want to use turboprint (propietary linux printer driver suit)
finally. What to choose?

Should I remove first both version, than install one (which one?) and
then reinstall cups and then reinstall turboprint and then finally
being able to print again (or not?) ? 

Before doing anything else which screws up my system even more I would
thank the experts here for any advice in advance ! :)

Kind regards
Meino Cramer

Did you uninstall app-text/ghostscript-esp beforehand? If yes there is
the possibility that some app depends on app-text/ghostscript-esp
instead of the ghostscript virtual but I don't think this is the case.
