Hey everyone.
I really hope someone can point me in the right direction with a repeating problem I have. It got started in another thread however the fix that worked there didn't for me. I can pinpoint exactly where the problem is happening, but can't seem to squash it.
When emerging ImageMagick, the './configure' line gets to this point:
| Code: | | checking for gs PDF writing device... |
and stays there forever, without doing anything.
Digging a little, and looking in the ImageMagick configure script reveals it is trying to run the following:
| Code: | # GSPDFDevice
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for gs PDF writing device" >&5
echo $ECHO_N "checking for gs PDF writing device... $ECHO_C" >&6
if $PSDelegate -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
then
GSPDFDevice=pdfwrite
else
GSPDFDevice=nodevice
fi
echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $GSPDFDevice" >&5
echo "${ECHO_T}$GSPDFDevice" >&6 |
Which run directly from the shell does the same thing...nothing:
| Code: | saturn ImageMagick-5.4.9 # gs -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
|
The other gs configure tests work perfectly, and changing the "-sDEVICE=" parameter to another device, like "pswrite" works just fine:
| Code: | saturn ImageMagick-5.4.9 # gs -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
saturn ImageMagick-5.4.9 # |
So the problem is in 'pdfwrite', but I can't figure it out from there. Anyone have an idea where I can start looking?

I still don't have this sucka figured out.
I've tried using '-pdflib' in make.conf and recompiling both gs and pdflib (I know, redundant) but still no luck.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I just had the same problem.
Not to sound too obvious, but I would think this is a ghostscript problem. It would seem that the 'gs' program is trying to output to the pdfwriter device.
If only we get it to timeout instead of waiting forever.
