Hi all, There is a ticket in Trac for an issue with GSView-4.7. http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2175
The issue is valid. The new EPS Ghostscript internal versioning scheme breaks GSView. I found that simply modifying src/gvcver.h in the GSView sources fixes the issue. I simply substituted 81502 for 999 for the "max version number" and compiled, and all worked fine. Note I used the newest GSView (4.8). As I *must* use ESP Ghostscript because CUPS is my print system, I cannot use AFPL Ghostscript (the GSView package specifically says to use AFPL Ghostscript). Note that I don't normally install GSView either, but want to address the outstanding Trac ticket. Does anyone else use GSView? Does the fix I'm proposing seem to be the right thing to do, or should we just drop ESP Ghostscript as a dependency and render GSView available only to folks who install AFPL Ghostscript? By the way, AFPL Ghostscript is changing to a GPL license and with a new version (not realeased yet, but perhaps will), may break GSView as well.
