SYNOPSIS:
	How to install Ghostscript

HINT:
Here are some instructions, that will help you at least to
compile ghostscript v 5.10

1.) Packages, you will need:

- ghostscript-5.10, of course.
(try: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ghostscript/ghostscript-5.10.tar.gz)

- one of the latest jpeg-library-distributions (I used jpeg.src.v6b)
(try: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/)

- one of the latest zlib-distribution (I used zlib-1.3.3)
(try: http://freshmeat.net/redir/zlib/12352/url_tgz/zlib.tar.gz)

- one of the latest libpng-distributions (I used libpng-1.0.8)
(try: http://www.libpng.org)

2.) Extract ghostscript and change to the top-level-directory of the
distribution.

3.) create the file 'changes.sed', containing the following lines:

----------------------------------------
s|XINCLUDE=-I/usr/local/X/include|XINCLUDE=-I/usr/X11R6/include|
s|XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/X11/lib|XLIBDIRS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib|
s|jpeg-6a|jpeg|
w Makefile
----------------------------------------

4.) Create the Makefile, by running the following command:

----------------------------------------
sed -f changes.sed unix-gcc.mak
----------------------------------------

5.) Stay in the top-level-dir of the gs-Distribution and extract the
zlib-package. This creates a directory named 'zlib-1.1.3'. Rename this
directory to 'zlib' (or make a symlink).

6.) Extract jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz and rename the jpeg-6b-directory to
'jpeg'
(or make a symlink).

7.) Extract libpng-1.0.8.tar.gz and move the libpng-1.0.8-directory to
libpng
(or - guess, what - make a symlink).

Now, you should be ready to compile the whole thing. Just run:

make -f Makefile &&
make -f Makefile install

You are done.

Or at least, you should be done. If not - I do apologise...
