if 8.14 doesn't segfault for you, that's good; but it still has the all-page-black bug in the ijs core, so it may affect you.

If you are not sure, you can always get it from the source: ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/gs801/ghostscript-8.01.tar.bz2 (note you'll need the one-line black-page patch for #256787) > Regarding alien and deb-building, once I did the > opposite of what you > described -- made RPMs from my .debs :-).

Alien's deb to/from support only works on real debian machines; on other distro it is rpm<->tgz only. I guess it is because debian ships rpm, but redhat/mandrake/suse/slackware doesn't ship dpkg :-). ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!
