Hi, There are two different gs programs distributed, one linked to the X11 library which is put in /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe and another no-X11 that goes into /bin/gs.exe. Here starts the problem: two different programs with the same name. Actually if you have X11 there is no reason of installing the gs-no-X11. Depending on your PATH you get one or the other. In relation to this there is the inconvenient dependence of transfig on gs-no-X11, which is automatically installed even if you have gs-X11. SETUP keeps trying to install gs-no-X11. A pain on the neck.
Sorry but there is currently no way to represent "either/or" dependencies via "setup.exe" (PTC). That said, there's no reason that you can't override "setup.exe" and not install gs-no-X11. If you know that's what you want, then you should feel free to do so. If your gripe is that "setup.exe" will try to install gs-no-X11 each time you run it, you should feel free to manually edit /etc/setup/install.db to include the package name and an impossibly high version number to fool "setup.exe" into thinking you already have a version installed that is more current than what it has available to it. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
