-----------------------Original question------------------------------
=
= I have trayed to install ghostcript 262. I have used gcc
=makefile and I have modified this items:
=
=XINCLUDE=-I/usr/openwin/share/include
=XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/openwin/lib
=
=Compilation ends without errors. But, when I run the program (gs)
=this is the result:
=
=>prompt> gs
=>ld.so.1: gs: fatal: libXext.so.0: can't open file: errno=2
=>Killed
=
= Anyboy can help me? I think that this problem is relationed
=with X11 ditribution (I dont have it. Then only X11 files that I
=find are in openwin directories). Shall I to install the X11
=distribution?
=
--------------------------------The solution--------------------------
=
= 1. Do you have /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0?
= 2. Compile your gs with -L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib
= 3. Set the env with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/openwin/lib
=
= Of course, the solucion is: 1 AND (2 OR 3)
--------------------------Aditional comments--------------------------
=
= 1. The problem was that I can't find the dinamic library (this is a
= shared object. This file needs to be located at run time
=
= 2. The Openwin stuff *is* the X11 distribution.
