Introduction to GPL Ghostscript
The GPL Ghostscript package provides an interpreter for the PostScript language and the PDF file format, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement the graphics capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the PostScript language, and a wide variety of output drivers for various file formats and printers.

Dependencies
Optional
Non-Multilib
The following causes -fPIC to be passed to the compiler when building shared libraries:
sed -i "s/CFLAGS='/&-fPIC /g" src/unix-dll.mak
Compile the package:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
To build the shared libgs.so library you must have GTK+ installed and issue the following command:
make so
Install the package:
make install
If you built the shared library, install it and the associated programs by issuing the following commands as the root user:
make soinstall && install -v -d -m755 /usr/include/ps && install -v -m644 src/*.h /usr/include/ps && ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript
Multilib
32Bit
The following causes -fPIC to be passed to the compiler when building shared libraries:
sed -i "s/CFLAGS='/&-fPIC /g" src/unix-dll.mak
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib" USE_ARCH=32 \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make
To build the shared libgs.so library you must have GTK+ installed and issue the following command:
make so
Install the package
make install
If you built the shared library, install it and the associated programs by issuing the following commands as the root user:
make soinstall && install -v -d -m755 /usr/include/ps && install -v -m644 src/*.h /usr/include/ps && ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript
N32
TO DO!
64Bit
The following causes -fPIC to be passed to the compiler when building shared libraries:
sed -i "s/CFLAGS='/&-fPIC /g" src/unix-dll.mak
Compile the package:
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64" USE_ARCH=64 \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" \
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make
To build the shared libgs.so library you must have GTK+ installed and issue the following command:
make so
Install the package
make install
If you built the shared library, install it and the associated programs by issuing the following commands as the root user:
make soinstall && install -v -d -m755 /usr/include/ps && install -v -m644 src/*.h /usr/include/ps && ln -v -s ps /usr/include/ghostscript
Fonts
To finish the installation, unpack all fonts you've downloaded to /usr/share/ghostscript
tar -xvf ../ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript tar -xvf ../gnu-gs-fonts-other-6.0.tar.gz -C /usr/share/ghostscript
Ensure the ownerships of the files are root:root:
chown -v root:root /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts/*
