Installing ghostscript 8.62 with all its dependencies.

Barakati — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:34:04 GMT

Hi,

I try to install ghostscript on HP-UX 11.31.
from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-8.62.0/

I started with its first depency package expat.
I get the following error.
I was able to run ./configure without any error. but when i run make i get following error.
#make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link cc -I./lib -I. -g -DHAVE_EXPAT_C
ONFIG_H -o xmlwf/xmlwf xmlwf/xmlwf.o xmlwf/xmlfile.o xmlwf/codepage.o xmlwf/rea
dfilemap.o libexpat.la
(Bundled) cc: warning 922: "-g" is unsupported in the bundled compiler, ignored.
ld: Unknown input file type: "./.libs/libexpat.so"
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1

libexpat.so shows:
#file libexpat.so
libexpat.so: ELF-32 executable object file - IA64

Kindly help me for this issue.

If you're doing anything which requires a
C compiler, and if you don't have (or wish to
buy) the HP compiler product, then your first
step should probably be installing GCC. On
IA64, the bundled C compiler is insufficient
for many purposes. (On PA-RISC, it's
insufficient for _most_ purposes.)

Hi,

I am installing ghostscript just to convert postscript to epson printer format.

however, i installed gcc.

prod# /usr/local/bin/gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: ia64-hp-hpux11.31
Configured with: ../gcc/configure
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.3

but i did not put the gcc in PATH.
hence cc was used during ./configure.

but when i put gcc in PATH.
I get following error during ./configure

prod# ./configure

checking host system type... ia64-hp-hpux11.31

The bundled C compiler doesn't support -b. You created an executable rather than a shlib. You could of course just use ld -b to link.

Hi,

I was able to run ./configure successfully with gcc. what i did was mv all lib needed to hpux32 folder /usr/local/hpux32.
But i found there a file hpux32 object file.
so i renamed this file and created a folder hpux32 and put all the libraries here.

Then i run make.
#make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I./lib -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wmi
ssing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H -o xml
wf/xmlwf xmlwf/xmlwf.o xmlwf/xmlfile.o xmlwf/codepage.o xmlwf/readfilemap.o libe
xpat.la
ld: Unknown input file type: "./.libs/libexpat.so"
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error exit code 1

kindly help me.

Remove this file, was it bad from the first time?

Hi Handy,

I am a oracle dba and new to this kind of installation.
Could you kindly show me exactly how can i do what you said in steps.

Re: Installing ghostscript 8.62 with all its dependencies.

Barakati — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 08:07:18 GMT

Hi,

My question was regarding reling with ld -b.
However i test removing ./.libs/libexpat.so.

This time:
dev2# make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I./lib -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wmi
ssing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H -o xml
wf/xmlwf xmlwf/xmlwf.o xmlwf/xmlfile.o xmlwf/codepage.o xmlwf/readfilemap.o libe
xpat.la
gcc: ./.libs/libexpat.so: No such file or directory
*** Error exit code 1

Then I saw there are other versions of this file in the same directory i tried them as well but same.

dev2# ls
libexpat.a libexpat.lai libexpat.so.6.2
libexpat.la libexpat.so.6 libexpat.so.org
dev2# cp libexpat.so.6 libexpat.so

dev2# make
/bin/sh ./libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I./lib -I. -g -O2 -Wall -Wmi
ssing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fexceptions -DHAVE_EXPAT_CONFIG_H -o xml
wf/xmlwf xmlwf/xmlwf.o xmlwf/xmlfile.o xmlwf/codepage.o xmlwf/readfilemap.o libe
xpat.la
ld: Unknown input file type: "./.libs/libexpat.so"
Fatal error.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error exit code 1

Do you suggest me to re-extract it form the source? Kindly suggest me.

Barakati — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 08:11:46 GMT

Hi,

Thanks you all.

I re-extracted expat and then ./configure and make went fine.

Now i will try to do the same for all dependencies for ghostscript and let you all know.

Thanks for your efforts.

Barakati — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 08:34:22 GMT

Hi,

I successfully install all dependencies for ghostscript 8.62.

-expat-2.0.1.tar1
-fontconfig-2.6.0-hppa-11.31.depot
-freetype-2.3.7-ia64-11.31.depot

-libpng-1.2.34-ia64-11.31.depot
-zlib-1.2.3-ia64-11.31.depot

Now I extracted the ghostscript8.62
now from ghostscript folder.

When i try to run like below.

dev2# make install

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have fix the above issue by using.

# ./configure --without-jasper

---configure went successfuly--

but make

dev2# make install
Make: Must be a separator on rules line 29. Stop.

Could anybody help me on this.

> Make: Must be a separator on rules line 29. Stop.

I know nothing, but if you're building modern
freeware, you may also need a "make" program
like the one everyone else uses, namely GNU
"make".

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/make-3.81/

The "make" programs supplied with many
commercial UNIX operating systems are old and
feeble. Many freeware developers expect a
"make" which has more features.

After installing it, either get it ahead of
the HP-UX "make" on your path, or make a
link like:

/usr/local/gmake -> /usr/local/make

(or wherever you install it)

and then use "gmake" instead of "make" in
your command(s).

Re: Installing ghostscript 8.62 with all its dependencies.

Steven Schweda — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 13:21:13 GMT

Wait. Let me guess. You installed GNU
"make", but you did not put it in PATH.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
I used gmake it did run but it is giving another error after running for atleast 2 mins.

#gmake install
.......
.......
.......
mkdir -p /usr/local/share
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/ghostscript
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.62
mkdir -p /usr/local/bin
./src/instcopy -c -m 755 ./bin/gs /usr/local/bin/gs
gmake: execvp: ./src/instcopy: Permission denied
gmake: *** [install-exec] Error 127

Is it something which i can ignore.
Kindly help on this.

Hi,

when i try testing gs ignoring above error.

dev2# gs /usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.62/examples/chess.ps

Kindly help me on this.

>gmake: execvp: ./src/instcopy: Permission denied

Is ./src/instcopy executable? What does "file ./src/instcopy" show?

>[HP ARIES32]: /usr/local/bin/gs saved to /ghost/ghostscript-8.62/ghostscript-8.62/core.gs.

This indicates you have a PA executable. That means you need a PA shlib libexpat.sl, which you must build on PA.

> make: execvp: ./src/instcopy: Permission denied

ls -l ./src/instcopy
file ./src/instcopy

"man chmod"?

Re: Installing ghostscript 8.62 with all its dependencies.

Barakati — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 06:43:51 GMT

Hi,

Thanks a lot all of you there.
I have successfully executed the gs test.
instcopy needed to chmod.

Now i am trying to use gs.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

I did installed ghostscript sucessfully on one of the servers. But when i follow the same steps. It stucks.
all dependecies went fine.

ghostscript

#./configure (went fine)
# gmake install

You need a newer libunwind. The latest is: PHSS_39102
