Posted in

Ghostscript is a suite of software based on an interpreter for Adobe Systems' PostScript and Portable Document Format (PDF) page description languages.

cd /extra/src
wget http://downloads.ghostscript.com/public/ghostscript-9.02.tar.gz
tar zxvf ghostscript-9.02.tar.gz
cd ghostscript-9.02

Build and install Ghostscript. On OS X, you might want to --disable-cups.
./configure
make
make install

Download the Ghostscript fonts:
cd /extra/src
wget "http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gs-fonts/gs-fonts/8.11 (base 35, GPL)/ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz"
tar zxvf ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz

Move it into the Ghostscript folder:
mv fonts /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
