Regarding my problem in installing ghostscript-5.50 (copy below), I managed
to solve it by removing the -migrate switch from the suggest CFLAGS value.
Here are the relevant lines of the makefile (=unixansi.mak) that worked for me:
INSTALL = installbsd -c
CFLAGS=-std -Olimit 1000 -O2 $(XCFLAGS)
LDFLAGS=-lots $(XLDFLAGS)
XLIBDIRS=
XLIBDIR=
I also got two replies that I did not need to use - thanks anyway guys!:
(1) Turn off "unaligned access" message with the /usr/bin/uac p 0 command.
(2) Refer to the Linux/Alpha Home at
http://www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux
as they are "a goldmine of porting information"
