Date: Fri, 29 Jul 1994 16:19:13 GMT Message-ID: <CtpMo1.ME5@twisto.eng.hou.compaq.com> Lines: 45 I have compiled ghostscript & ghostview from the Walnut Creek FreeBSD 1.0.2 CD-ROM portstgz directory following the README.FreeBSD notes. The only error that occurred during any of this was that mkdir found an existing directory during install. I did the make install as user root. When I run ghostscript with the env set to the default that the make install sets, I receive the following error: spitfire:> spitfire:> setenv GS_DEVICE ljet2p.dev spitfire:> gs ~/recsrch.ps Initializing... Unknown device: ljet2p.dev spitfire:> looking through the source code, it appeared that the string being searched for was "ljet2p" instead of "ljet2p.dev", so I changed GS_DEVICE and tried to run the program again. This time the error was: spitfire:> setenv GS_DEVICE ljet2p spitfire:> gs ~/recsrch.ps Initializing... Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in %set_screen_continue Operand stack: 0.200454 false --nostringval-- and when I run ghostview the error reported is Unrecoverable error: rangecheck in %set_screen_continue Operand stack: 0.0546875 true --nostringval-- I am running a 386/25 without coprocessor, 8M RAM, 25M swap with XFree86 working great. Does anyone have a clue? ----- Richard Hykel hykel@yoda.eng.hou.compaq.com My opinion is my own and subject to change.
