Re: gs-aladdin 5.10 always crashing
OK, I figured this one out myself. I found a file in
/usr/doc/libpaperg/examples called gs-frontend.c or something. With a
bit of modification, this program fixes things.
I rename the /usr/bin/gs binary to /usr/bin/gs-5.10, and put the latter
in the #DEFINE at the top of the C program gs-frontend.c I compiled
gs-frontend.c, name the binary gs, throw it in /usr/local/bin. gs and
gv now work fine. For printing Postscripts to work, I had to change my
/etc/magicfilter/epsonlq-filter to use /usr/local/bin/gs instead of
/usr/bin/gs
