I've been trying to build the latest ghostscript....
(not from pkgsrc 'cos that version is from the ark)

Everything built fine, but 'make install' fails with:
make: exec(./src/instcopy) failed (No such file or directory)

A quick ktrace shows that make does:
    6822 make     CALL  __stat13(0xbfbfa840,0xbfbfac44)
    6822 make     NAMI  "/oldroot/home/dsl/tmp/ghostscript-8.00/obj.i386"
    6822 make     RET   __stat13 -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
    6822 make     CALL  __stat13(0xbfbfa840,0xbfbfac44)
    6822 make     NAMI  "/oldroot/home/dsl/tmp/ghostscript-8.00/obj"
    6822 make     RET   __stat13 0
    6822 make     CALL  chdir(0xbfbfa840)
    6822 make     NAMI  "/oldroot/home/dsl/tmp/ghostscript-8.00/obj"
    6822 make     RET   chdir 0
    6822 make     CALL  open(0x805fac9,0x4,0)
    6822 make     NAMI  "."
    6822 make     RET   open 3
fairly early on - there are no chdir() calls in the trace.
I'm no expert on netbsd's make, but this makefile looks fairly
simple (if rather long)

About the first thing it has to do is:
install-exec:
	./src/instcopy	....
but the current directory is all wrong.

Thoughts?

(gmake installed it ok, an old SYSV make might also have
worked - provided it new about 'include')
