Don't do that. -- -Alan Coopersmith- <a href="mailto:alan.coopersmith@sun.com">alan.coopersmith@sun.com</a> Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering </blockquote></div> Alan had the right of it and I came to the same conclusion last night while I was out. "gs" was obviously referring to ghostscript and it even had something about LibX11.pdf on the next line. I removed ghostscript and it installed fine. I should have checked configure for a --without-docs argument but just removed gs instead. I already had renderproto installed along with all the other proto packages. The protoheaders are the first thing to get installed for obvious reasons. It's just that for some reason, I like to remove all old(release 7.4) xorg related packages when I'm building a new release (I'll build on my VC's), therefore ps2pdf was found but broken. Thanks all.
