# other version.

# If you are going to replace ESP Ghostscript with GNU Ghostscriipt, or if
# you just want to remove it, skip down to the bottom for instructions.

# Slackware 8.1 included an 'espgs' package in 'extra', 9.0 and 9.1's
# include version 7.05.6, 10.0 and 10.1's include version 7.07.1,
# 10.2's includes 8.15rc4, and 11.0's includes "8.15.3svn185"

# Prerequisites:
# libjpeg
# zlib
# libpng
# CUPS
# HPLIP's HPIJS (if you have an HP Inkjet)
# Gimp-Print/Gutenprint (Canon, Epson, Lexmark, HP, PCL printers)
# GLib
# XFree86 or X.org
# OpenSSL (if cups was built with it)

# This howto used to be part of the cups howto which put tarballs into
# ~/installed/cups/:

   mv ~/installed/cups/gnu-gs-fonts-* ~/installed/ 2> /dev/null )
