ghostscript-esp 7.07.1-35 built w/o X on 10.6

[Viv Kendon]

I just bootstrapped a 64 bit fink on a clean install of
10.6.1 (apple's X11, latest xcode 3.2.1, on a macpro booted
64bit with case-sensitive file system), and just realised
that ghostscript-esp built without detecting X:

checking if Omni support can be compiled in... yes
checking for X... no
checking for mkstemp... yes

I'm installing ghostscript 8 instead, but on 10.5 ppc I have
ghostscript-esp installed with X11 support included, so I
thought I should mention it.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. It may be fixed by appending

--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

to ConfigureParams. Could you test it please? If it
works, we will modify the finkinfo.

Many apologies for taking this long to test something that
only took 3 mins to try (I have been extremely busy).  It
does indeed work as expected on my 10.6 machine, so you can
apply the fix.

cheers,

Erm, what I wrote below was for a limited definition of
"test".  I have now realised that, while it compiles and
installs just fine, and shows the X11 devices when asked (gs
-h), it does not work the way ghostscript 8 does in
combination with texlive.  In particular, graphics included
as eps files don't display in xdvi with ghostscript-esp, but
they do if I swap in ghostscript 8.

I don't know whether this is expected behaviour, or
something in the configuration that is missing, but I
thought I'd mention it, in case it saves someone else time
figuring out why things aren't working for them.

cheers,
