<h2><a name="Overview"></a>Overview of how to install Ghostscript</h2>
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
<p>
|
|
|
55 |
You must have three things to run Ghostscript:
|
|
|
56 |
<ol>
|
|
|
57 |
<li>The Ghostscript executable file; on some operating
|
|
|
58 |
systems, more than one file is required. These are entirely
|
|
|
59 |
platform-specific. See below for details.
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
<li>Initialization files that Ghostscript reads in when it
|
|
|
62 |
starts up; these are the same on all platforms.
|
|
|
63 |
<ul>
|
|
|
64 |
<li><b><tt>gs_</tt></b>*<b><tt>.ps</tt></b> unless Ghostscript was compiled
|
|
|
65 |
using the "compiled initialization files" option. See the documentation of
|
|
|
66 |
<a href="Psfiles.htm">PostScript files distributed with Ghostscript</a>.
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
<li><b><tt>pdf_</tt></b>*<b><tt>.ps</tt></b> if Ghostscript was compiled
|
|
|
69 |
with the ability to interpret Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files,
|
|
|
70 |
that is, <b><tt>pdf.dev</tt></b> was included in
|
|
|
71 |
<b><tt>FEATURE_DEVS</tt></b> when Ghostscript was built.
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
<li><b><tt>Fontmap</tt></b> and <b><tt>Fontmap.GS</tt></b> (or the
|
|
|
74 |
appropriate <b><tt>Fontmap.</tt></b><em>xxx</em> for your platform), unless
|
|
|
75 |
you plan always to invoke Ghostscript with the <a
|
|
|
76 |
href="Use.htm#FONTMAP_switch"><b><tt>-dNOFONTMAP</tt></b> switch</a>.
|
|
|
77 |
</ul>
|
|
|
78 |
|
|
|
79 |
<li>Fonts, for rendering text. These are platform-independent,
|
|
|
80 |
but if you already have fonts of the right kind on your platform,
|
|
|
81 |
you may be able to use those. See below for details. Also see the
|
|
|
82 |
<a href="Fonts.htm">documentation on fonts</a>.
|
|
|
83 |
</ol>
|
|
|
84 |
|
|
|
85 |
<p>
|
|
|
86 |
The <a href="Use.htm">usage documentation</a> describes the search
|
|
|
87 |
algorithms used to find initialization files and font files. The
|
|
|
88 |
per-platform descriptions that follow tell you where to install these
|
|
|
89 |
files.

<h2><a name="Install_Unix"></a>Installing Ghostscript on Unix</h2>
|
|
|

|
|
|
95 |
<p>
|
|
|
96 |
Ghostscript uses the common configure, build and install method common
|
|
|
97 |
to many modern software packages. In general the following with suffice
|
|
|
98 |
to build ghostscript:
|
|
|
99 |
<blockquote><tt><b>
|
|
|
100 |
./configure<br>
|
|
|
101 |
make
|
|
|
102 |
</b></tt></blockquote>
|
|
|
103 |
and then it may be installed in the default location with:
|
|
|
104 |
<blockquote><b>
|
|
|
105 |
<tt>make install</tt>
|
|
|
106 |
</b></blockquote>
|
|
|
107 |
This last command may need to be performed with super user privileges.
|
|
|
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
<p>
|
|
|
110 |
You can set the installation directory by adding <tt>--prefix=<em>path</em></tt>
|
|
|
111 |
to the configure invocation in the first step. The default prefix is <tt>/usr/local</tt>,
|
|
|
112 |
which is to say the <tt>gs</tt> executable is installed as <tt>/usr/local/bin/gs</tt>.
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
</p>A list of similar configuration options is available via <tt>./configure --help</tt>
|
|
|
115 |
|
|
|
116 |
<p>
|
|
|
117 |
For more detailed information on building Ghostscript see
|
|
|
118 |
<a href="Make.htm#Unix_build">how to build Ghostscript on Unix</a> in
|
|
|
119 |
the documentation on building Ghostscript, especially regarding information
|
|
|
120 |
on using the older <a href="Make.htm#UNIX_makefile">hand edited makefile</a>
|
|
|
121 |
approach. Whatever configuration method you use, execute "<b><tt>make
|
|
|
122 |
install</tt></b>" to install the executable and all the required and
|
|
|
123 |
ancillary files after the build is complete.
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
<h3><a name="Use_Acrobat_fonts_Unix"></a>Fonts</h3>
|
|
|
126 |
|
|
|
127 |
<p>
|
|
|
128 |
The makefile installs all the files except fonts under the directory
|
|
|
129 |
defined in the makefile as <b><tt>prefix</tt></b>. Fonts need to be
|
|
|
130 |
installed separately. The fonts should be installed in
|
|
|
131 |
<tt><em>{prefix}</em>/share/ghostscript/fonts</tt>.
|
|
|
132 |
(That is, <tt>/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/</tt> if you used the default
|
|
|
133 |
configuration above.)
|
|
|
134 |
|
|
|
135 |
<p>
|
|
|
136 |
If you have Adobe Acrobat installed, you can use the Acrobat fonts
|
|
|
137 |
in place of the ones distributed with with Ghostscript by adding the
|
|
|
138 |
Acrobat fonts directory to
|
|
|
139 |
<b><tt>GS_FONTPATH</tt></b> and removing these fonts from
|
|
|
140 |
<b><tt>Fontmap.GS</tt></b>:
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
<blockquote>
|
|
|
143 |
Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-BoldOblique, Courier-Oblique, Helvetica,
|
|
|
144 |
Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-BoldOblique, Helvetica-Oblique, Symbol, Times-Bold,
|
|
|
145 |
Times-BoldItalic, Times-Italic, Times-Roman, ZapfDingbats
|
|
|
146 |
</blockquote>
|
|
|
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
<p>
|
|
|
149 |
Similarly, you can have ghostscript use other fonts on your system by adding
|
|
|
150 |
entries to the fontmap or adding the directories to the GS_FONTMAP environment
|
|
|
151 |
variable. See the <a href="Use.htm#Font_lookup">usage documentation</a> for more
|
|
|
152 |
information.
|
|
|
153 |
For example, many linux distributions place fonts under <tt>/usr/share/fonts</tt>.
|
|
|
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
<h3><a name="Shared_object"></a>Ghostscript as a shared object</h3>
|
|
|
156 |
If you've built Ghostscript as a shared object, instead of '<tt>make install</tt>',
|
|
|
157 |
you must use '<tt>make soinstall</tt>'.
|
|
|
158 |
See <a href="Make.htm#Shared_object">how to build Ghostscript
|
|
|
159 |
as a shared object</a> for more details.

<h3><a name="Install_Linux"></a>Additional notes on Linux</h3>
|
|
|
162 |
|
|
|
163 |
<p>
|
|
|
164 |
For Linux, you may be able to install or upgrade Ghostscript from
|
|
|
165 |
precompiled <a href="http://www.rpm.org">RPM</a> files using:
|
|
|
166 |
|
|
|
167 |
<blockquote><b><tt>
|
|
|
168 |
rpm -U ghostscript-N.NN-1.i386.rpm<br>
|
|
|
169 |
rpm -U ghostscript-fonts-N.NN-1.noarch.rpm
|
|
|
170 |
</tt></b></blockquote>
|
|
|
171 |
|
|
|
172 |
<p>
|
|
|
173 |
However, please note that we do not create RPMs for Ghostscript, and we take
|
|
|
174 |
no responsibility for RPMs created by others.

<p>
|
|
|
181 |
We usually distribute Ghostscript releases for Windows as self-extracting
|
|
|
182 |
archive files, since this is the most convenient form for users. These
|
|
|
183 |
files can also be unpacked as if they were plain zip files.
|
|
|
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
<p>
|
|
|
186 |
The self-extracting archive is normally named
|
|
|
187 |
<b><tt>gs###w32.exe</tt></b>,
|
|
|
188 |
where ### is the release number (e.g., 650 for Ghostscript 6.50,
|
|
|
189 |
700 for Ghostscript 7.00).
|
|
|
190 |
|
|
|
191 |
<h3><a name="Windows4"></a>Windows 95/98 and NT 4</h3>
|
|
|
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
<p>
|
|
|
194 |
To install a self-extracting Ghostscript archive on Windows 95/98 or
|
|
|
195 |
Windows NT4/2000, you need just this self-extracting archive file.
|
|
|
196 |
Run this file to install Ghostscript.
|
|
|
197 |
|
|
|
198 |
<p>
|
|
|
199 |
Alternatively, if you have the zip file, unzip it to a temporary
|
|
|
200 |
directory then run the included <b><tt>setupgs.exe</tt></b>.
|
|
|
201 |
After the setup program has finished, remove the temporary files.
|
|
|
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
<p>
|
|
|
204 |
After installing Ghostscript, it is strongly recommended that you
|
|
|
205 |
install the <b>GSview previewer</b>,
|
|
|
206 |
which provides an easier to use graphical interface for Ghostscript.
|
|
|
207 |
Information on GSview is available from:

|
|
247 |
information about using Adobe Type Manager, Adobe Type Basics, or Adobe
|
|
|
248 |
Acrobat fonts. If your system uses TrueType fonts, you can get them
|
|
|
249 |
converted to a Ghostscript-compatible format at the time you select your
|
|
|
250 |
"printer" by doing the following:
|
|
|
251 |
|
|
|
252 |
<blockquote><ol>
|
|
|
253 |
<li>Open control panel and double-click on the "Printers" icon.
|
|
|
254 |
<li>Select your PostScript printer.
|
|
|
255 |
<li>Choose Setup.
|
|
|
256 |
<li>Choose Options.
|
|
|
257 |
<li>Choose Advanced.
|
|
|
258 |
<li>At the top of the dialog box you will see TrueType Fonts Send to
|
|
|
259 |

|
|
|
260 |
<li>Uncheck Use Printer Fonts for All TrueType Fonts and Use
|
|
|
261 |

262 |
Table.
|
|
|
263 |
<li>OK.
|
|
|
264 |
<li>OK etc.
|
|
|
265 |
</ol></blockquote>
|
|
|
266 |
|
|
|
267 |
<p>
|
|
|
268 |
That's it! Your TrueType fonts will automatically be downloaded in your
|
|
|
269 |
PostScript file for Ghostscript to use.
|
|
|
270 |
|
|
|
271 |

Ghostscript tries to load the Ghostscript dynamic link library (DLL)

remove "Ghostscript #.##" and "Ghostscript Fonts". (The entries may be

|
|
|
352 |
|
|
|
353 |
<p>
|
|
|
354 |
You need the file <b><tt>GS.EXE</tt></b> to run Ghostscript on OpenVMS, and
|
|
|
355 |
installing Ghostscript on an OpenVMS system requires building it first:
|
|
|
356 |
please read <a href="Make.htm#VMS_build">how to build Ghostscript on VMS</a>
|
|
|
357 |
in the documentation on building Ghostscript.
|
|
|
358 |
|
|
|
359 |
<p>
|
|
|
360 |
The following installation steps assume that the Ghostscript directory is
|
|
|
361 |
<b><tt>DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT]</tt></b>. Yours will almost certainly be in
|
|
|
362 |
a different location so adjust the following commands accordingly.
|
|
|
363 |
|
|
|
364 |
<ul>
|
|
|
365 |
|
|
|
366 |
<li>Download the fonts and unpack them into
|
|
|
367 |
<b><tt>DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT.LIB]</tt></b>.
|
|
|
368 |
|
|
|
369 |
<li>Enable access to the program and support files for all users with:
|
|
|
370 |
|
|
|
371 |
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
|
372 |
$ set file/prot=w:re DISK1:[DIR]GHOSTSCRIPT.dir
|
|
|
373 |
$ set file/prot=w:re DISK1:[DIR.GHOSTSCRIPT...]*.*
|
|
|
374 |
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
|
375 |
|
|
|
376 |
<li>Optionally, add the Ghostscript help instructions to your system wide
|
|
|
377 |
help file:
|
|
|
378 |
|
|
|
379 |
<blockquote><pre>

380 |

|
|
|
381 |
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
|
382 |
|
|
|
383 |
<li>Lastly, add the following lines to the appropriate system wide or user
|
|
|
384 |
specific login script.
|
|
|
385 |
|
|
|
386 |

While drawing, the <b><tt>os2pm</tt></b> driver updates the display every 5

518 |
seconds. On slow computers this is undesirable, and a different interval

can be specified in milliseconds with the <b><tt>-dUpdateInterval</tt></b>
|
|
|
520 |
option, with a default of <b><tt>-dUpdateInterval=5000</tt></b>; to disable

Standard VGA is very slow because it uses double buffering to avoid bugs
|
|
|
525 |
and because of 1-plane to 4-plane conversion; it's better to use a
|
|
|
526 |
256-color display driver. Many display drivers have bugs which cause 1
|
|
|
527 |
bit-per-pixel bitmaps to be displayed incorrectly.
