Ghostscript for 10.20

Stephanie L Davenport — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:06:55 GMT

Does anybody know where I can find a version of Ghostscript that will work with 10.20? I need to be able to mail out pdf files from my machines. Also, does mailx work well with pdf attachments?

My guess unless you can find an old archive you'll have to compile it yourself.

I was looking at the port archive:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-8.55/

8.55 is the one I could find.

Mailx can mail it but you have to uuencode it first. Theres quite a few discussions about it here if you search for attachments with mailx.

You can take it from here too :

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-8.55/

It is the version that only says .. HP-UX!

Hope this helps,

I have 7.07 running on 10.20, built with +DAportable, so that should run on any 10.20 architecture.

I could pachage that up.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

H.Merijn,

It would be wonderful if you could do that. :)

Dave and Marco, please refrain from posting useless answers. You *know* that 11.x builds do not run on 10.20.

Stephanie, I'm affraid that this will only work if you install in /pro/local. That may be a symlink, but chatr showed me that it wants the shared libs from there. I have included the three libs, so it should work.

# cd /
# mkdir pro pro/local
# cd pro/local
# wget http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/gs-7.07-10.20-pa1.1.tbz
# bzip2 -d < gs-7.07-10.20-pa1.1.tbz | tar xf -
# bin/gs --version

You can of course use other utils than wget to fetch that file. bzip2 is also available on my site: http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/bzip2-1.0.2-pa1.1

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ full points welcome :) ]

The link you just posted has builds for HP-UX 11i only.
Non of the builds available there will run on HP-UX 10.20!

That is what I mean with useless.
If you have a Solaris box, you won't be happy with me pointing to Mac OS-X software builds. That is about the same.
If it won't run on the requested architecture it is useless.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ one of the few worldwide still building on 10.20 *and* making that available ]

Hello Stephanie,

I hope this link to be helpful to you, and not useless as my friend says.

You can find the old versions right here!!!...

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ghostscript

Note.: My friend...they are not for Solaris!!! =)..

Have a nice weekend!

I didn't say it wouldn't run. I said there was no prebuild binaries on both software.hp.com or the porting archive.
