I've completed build attempts of gnu-ghostscript-8.55 on about 25 flavors of Unix. Only builds on GNU/Linux systems succeeded; problem reports about other platforms will follow over the next few days.
On two quite-different 64-bit systems, GNU/Linux on Alpha and on IA-64, I get identical failures at run time when gs is built with gcc: % cd lib % gdb ../bin/gs GNU gdb 6.3 ... (gdb) run ../examples/tiger.eps Starting program: /local/build/gcc4/gnu-ghostscript-8.55/bin/gs ../examples/tiger.eps (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) (no debugging symbols found) GNU Ghostscript 8.55 (2006-10-17) Copyright (C) 2006 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA.
