[GRASS-user] Ghostprint and Mac OS

[William Kyngesburye]

I don't think Gutenprint comes with the gs executable.  I think it had  
gs once long ago before it's name was changed to gutenprint.  And then  
I believe you still had to install one of the ghostscript binary  
packages.  I haven't seen any new ghostscript binary packages for OSX.

I think your stuck with building ghostscript yourself.  Can't help you  
with that.

But the GUI (gis.m) should not need ghostscript, but use lpr instead  
for printing.  d.m probably still has a dependence of gs for printing,  
but you should really not be using d.m.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
