It looks like I have all kinds of things installed, only some of which
are because of fiddling this morning.

    JN> Try gs --version and/or dpkg -l | grep ' gs'.

[adieu]# gs --version
7.07.1

[adieu]# dpkg -l | grep ' gs'
ii  gs             8.01-5         Transitional package
ii  gs-afpl        8.14-3         The AFPL Ghostscript PostScript interpreter
ii  gs-aladdin     8.14-3.1       Transitional package
ii  gs-common      0.3.6-0.1      Common files for different Ghostscript relea
ii  gs-esp         7.07.1-9       The Ghostscript PostScript interpreter - ESP
ii  gs-gpl         8.01-5         The GPL Ghostscript PostScript interpreter
ii  gscanbus       0.7.1-5        scan IEEE1394 (firewire/i.link) bus

ii  gsm-utils      1.10-5         GSM mobile phone access applications

Also:

[adieu]# ls -l /usr/bin/gs
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 Oct  3  2004 /usr/bin/gs -> /etc/alternatives/gs

[adieu]# ls -l /etc/alternatives/gs
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 15 Apr 15 10:03 /etc/alternatives/gs -> /usr/bin/gs-esp

[adieu]# ls /usr/bin/gs*
/usr/bin/gs       /usr/bin/gscanbus  /usr/bin/gslp        /usr/bin/gsmsiexfer
/usr/bin/gs-afpl  /usr/bin/gsdj      /usr/bin/gsmctl      /usr/bin/gsmsmsd
/usr/bin/gs-esp   /usr/bin/gsdj500   /usr/bin/gsmpb       /usr/bin/gsmsmsstore
/usr/bin/gs-gpl   /usr/bin/gsftopk   /usr/bin/gsmsendsms  /usr/bin/gsnd
/usr/bin/gsbj     /usr/bin/gslj      /usr/bin/gsmsiectl

I don't know how this is supposed to work, but it seems unlikely that
what's happening is what I want.

    JN> Does 8.01 work for you, if you trick configure?

It's only a warning that configure gives, so I don't have to trick
it.  I did a "make all" successfully this morning, but then decided to
build a debian package before playing with it, and that's still
chugging.  Mostly on gs, so I should probably fix the gs problem and
do it again.

So I've removed /etc/alternatives/gs and linked it to
/usr/bin/gs-afpl, and we'll see what happens now.
