Hello Bernhard, Many thanks for your bug report. I quickly became aware of several deficiencies in my gropdf buld strategy! These include problems with the 9.? versions of ghostscript, when builddir != srcdir, no proper checking of required dependencies (perl), and failures on non-linux installs. (Quite a list!!) I'd be very grateful to receive a copy of the devpdf/download file which was built on your mac, a directory listing of /opt/local/share/urw-fonts, and the output from "gs -h". Unfortunately I don't have access to a mac to test myself. Many thanks for your help.
