Hi,

The dvisvgm package fails to build from source when linking against Ghostscript 10:

libtool: link: g++ -Wall -Wnon-virtual-dtor -I../libs/clipper -I../libs/variant/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng16 -g -O2 -ffile-prefix-map=/build/dvisvgm-2.14=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wno-mismatched-tags -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -o dvisvgm dvisvgm.o  ./.libs/libdvisvgm.a ../libs/clipper/libclipper.a -lfreetype ../libs/ff-woff/libfontforge.a -lwoff2enc -lbrotlienc -lcrypto -lz -lxxhash -lpotrace -lgs -lkpathsea
/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/libdvisvgm.a(Ghostscript.o): in function `Ghostscript::error_name(int)':
./src/Ghostscript.cpp:382: undefined reference to `gs_error_names'


It seems to me that dvisvgm attempts to extract private information
from the libgs library, which is no longer provided since release 10
of Ghostscript.


Upstream has a commit for this:

https://github.com/mgieseki/dvisvgm/commit/9bf81fd0b6e7876e5079e917ed7e12163b9e7f7f

The commit message is: "dropped usage of gs_error_names() because it's no longer accessible as of GS 10.0.0"

I can confirm that dvisvgm builds again, after applying the patch. I'm not a C programmer, but the patch looks harmless to me. Could anybody confirm?
