Bug ID: 698712
Summary: question about GS_LIB variable
Product: Ghostscript
Version: 9.21
Hardware: Other
OS: HP-UX
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P4

Hi

I have a question.

In the Hpexstream installation guide, it is mentionned to set these variable
below

______________________________________________________________

Add the directory where Ghostscript resides to your PATH.
For example, export
PATH=$PATH:/ghostscript_dir

Set the GS_LIB environment variable to
<gsdir>/gsfonts:<gsdir>/gslib
where
<gsdir>
is your Ghostscript directory.

____________________________________________________________________________

My question is about the GS_LIB variable. We don't have the <gsdir>/gslib
neither <gsdir>/gsfont directories. I only have the <gsdir>/bin and
<gsdir>/share directories.

Should I have to set the GS_LIB variable or which directory I should use to set
the GS_LIB variable


Thank you

This is a bug reporting system, not a general support forum. If you are using
Ghostscript under the AGPL then you do not qualify for support.

See the documentation, a copy can be found online here:

https://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.22/Readme.htm#New_users

This is the the usual information we give in response to free user requests:

Thank you for your interest in Ghostscript. Ghostscript is supplied in two
ways, as open-source software under the Affero General Public Licence Version 3
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License) and as commercial
software under licence from Artifex Software.

Please note that the '***@artifex.com' mail address is only for customers
using Ghostscript or other software licenced commercially from Artifex. The
AGPL version of Ghostscript is provided 'as is', without warranty or support.

We do value input from our free user community and we will fix bugs reported to
us as well as considering enhancement requests. However, this is entirely at
our own discretion and, as you would expect, our commercial customers are given
priority over free users.

Bugs can be reported (and enhancement requests raised) at
http://bugs.ghostscript.com there are a number of other avenues open to free
users:

1) The stack overflow web site has a small but active community involved with
Ghostscript, as well as PostScript and PDF. Questions raised here will often
get a good response.

2) The UseNet forum comp.lang.postscript again has a similar community of
enthusiasts.

3) The Ghostscript developers can be found on the #ghostscript IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net. Questions asked here will usually get a response though time
zone differences can mean there are periods when nobody is available. The
channel is logged, the developers read the logs and will respond, so even if
nobody answers immediately hang around, someone will eventually. Alternatively
check back in the logs later.

Artifex does offer commercial distribution licences for Ghostscript, and in
cases where this is not appropriate also offers support contracts. If you are
interested in pursuing either of these please contact ***@artifex.com

Closing as not a bug report.
