I installed ghostscript-9.04 and its dependencies from sunfree and was receiving error for missing certain libraries. Then I removed the 9.04 version and installed ghostscript-9.04.1-sol10-x86-local.gz. and now get the following error now:liblcms2.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory. Is that another dependent package? Thanks

It would help if you tell from where did you get ghostscript, precisely. – jlliagre Jan 28 at 9:07
I installed ghostscript-9.04-sol10-x86-local.gz from sunfree and also the dependencies. – Shuvo Shams Jan 30 at 19:37

The LIBIDN_1.0 bit is the SONAME, which is a version number inside of a shared object. What has probably happened is that you have a slightly different version of libidn.so.11 installed than the one that Ghostscript was compiled with.

If you are hand-rolling these packages, you might save yourself some hassle by installing the ghostscript packages from opencsw.org.

LIBIDN_1.0 is not a SONAME, libidn.so.11 is. In this case, libidn.so.11 has been found, but the versioned symbols weren't found. You need another libidn.so.11 with LIBIDN_1.0 symbols. – automatthias Feb 2 at 12:38
Ah, got my terminology wrong, confused symbol name versus SONAME – pottedporkproduct Feb 16 at 23:57

You might want to try the latest version, ghostscript-9.04.1-sol10-x86-local.gz.

Perhaps the issue you are experiencing is what caused the respin.

Thanks. The previous issue was resolved. However, have the following new issue: liblcms2.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory. Is that another dependency from the ones listed for 9.04-sol? – Shuvo Shams Jan 30 at 21:32
Then please update your question stating that new issue and explaining how you did resolve the initial one. – jlliagre Jan 30 at 21:37

Updating doesn't mean removing the initial question. Now pottedporkproduct's answer looks partially irrelevant. – jlliagre Jan 31 at 6:06
The issue is sunfreeware doesn't seem to freely display package dependencies any more. Do you have this information available ? – jlliagre Jan 31 at 15:59

Have you tried ghostscript from OpenCSW? The version is 8.71, but chances are it'll work. Do you need the newest version?
