 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to emerge imagemagick-5.4.7 into gentoo-1.4. It freezes at this point:
| Code: |
checking for Ghostscript fonts directory... /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/
checking for gs color device... pnmraw
checking for gs mono device... pbmraw
checking for gs PDF writing device...
|
The actual command that the configure script tries at this point is:
| Code: |
/usr/bin/gs -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
|
However when I try 'pswrite' inplace of 'pdfwrite' gs returns immediately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What were the CFLAGS when you emerged ghostscript?

I didn't have any value set. Reading the /etc/make.conf file I guess I should at least have '-march=i686 -O3 -pipe'.
The problem appears to have sorted itself after a general update:
| Code: | | emerge rsync && emerge -u world -f && emerge koffice -f && emerge -u world && emerge koffice |
I now have media-gfx/imagemagick 5.4.7.4 installed okay.
Thanks anyway. Excuse me while I go recompile my world... |

I'm actually getting the same problem.
Unfortunately, doing an emerge -u world has no effect on it 
I've done a bit of troubleshooting, and discovered by running a slightly modified version of the line ./configure runs:
| Code: | | /usr/bin/gs -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=~/test.txt |
The result is this:
| Code: | ESP Ghostscript 7.05 (2002-09-02)
Copyright (C) 2002 artofcode LLC, Benicia, CA. All rights reserved.

**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting. |
So it seems that it's having problems "opening" pdfwrite? I'm not very familiar with ghostscript, but this is the first time I've run into problems with it.
I'm not using any peculiar CFLAGS:
| Code: | | -march=pentiumpro -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer |
Any ideas?

|

For the n00bs out there: [ i.e., me  ]
1. cd /usr/tmp/portage/imagemagick-5.5.3.2/work/ImageMagick-5.5.3/
2. edit configure
a. search for pdfwrite
b. find this line
| Code: | | if $PSDelegate -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=/dev/null < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
change it to be
| Code: | | if $PSDelegate -q -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=~/test.txt < /dev/null 2> /dev/null |
3. ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-5.5.3.2.ebuild compile
4. ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-5.5.3.2.ebuild install
5. ebuild /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-5.5.3.2.ebuild merge
all done.
