You can download and install Ghostscript 7.07b in depot format from the Porting center:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/PostScript/ghostscript-7.07b/

That way you don't have to build it yourself.

Thank's Pete, i think that this work fine.

I want install ghostscript-7.07b-sd-11.11.depot in my system but i don't never do it. i newbie. do you can say me how install with swinstall?

[Pete Randall]

Basically, you need to download it, gunzip it, and swinstall it. There's really not much more to it than that.

Hi,

check the run-time dependencies.

You probably need the zlib package too.

Hope this helps.

Updating this old thread for reference:

jasper is broken on HP-UX below 11iv3 as it tries to make up for the missing stdlib.h and gets it wrong.
see line 140 in jas_types.h
