The ghostscript package- I downloaded something called ghostscript4.03.
(ghostscript-4.03.tar) it was about 8.9 megabytes.
It has 873 files in a directory called gs4.03.
I'm thinking maybe ghostscript is not installed correctly. I just
used the netBSD68k installer to install it. Then I put it in the
directory recommended by monroe Williams(the creator of the stylwriter
driver) /usr/local/gnu/bin and renamed it "gs" (from gs4.03) so it would
be consistent with whatever Mr. Williams had written in his stylewriter
driver package.
I was also looking at the README files that came with the ghostscript
package; one had a really complicated procedure for installation on UNIX
systems. I hope I don't have to follow that.
1. Did I miss something in this installation?
2. Does ghostscript need to be compiled?
3. Where can I learn more about how to set up a printer on netBSD
1.3.2
Thanks a lot if any one can help.
