Bash Anomaly

[Bogomips]

In order to run a superseded Ghostscript driver, mirrored just executable gs and needed library files for DSL 7.05 Ghostscript on to xzm module. It happens that executable was on /usr/local/bin. In this regard also have a question, which is why the apps here are on the main on /usr/bin, while the linux bible stipulates they should be on /usr/local/bin?

Activated GSv7.05.xzm and ran gs

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ gs @st640pl.upp -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -sOutputFile=prtc ss_091013.ps -c quit

Then needed to use Abiword, so deactivated 7.05 xzm, and activated Abiword bundle with usm ghostscript.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# deactivate /mnt/sda4/mods/GSv7.05.xzm
Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig

root@porteus:/home/guest# activate /mnt/sda1/mods/Abw3.1.xzm 
Updating shared library links:  /sbin/ldconfig
Updating glib schemas: /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
Updating GTK immodules: /usr/bin/update-gtk-immodules
Updating KDE menu: kbuildsycoca

But ghostscript invocation errored out!

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ gs @st640plg.upp -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -sOutputFile=prt Gg_171014.ps -c quit
bash: /usr/local/bin/gs: No such file or directory

However:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ whereis gs
gs: /usr/bin/gs /usr/X11R6/bin/gs /usr/bin/X11/gs /usr/X11/bin/gs /usr/man/man1/gs.1 /usr/X11/man/man1/gs.1
guest@porteus:~$ which gs
/usr/bin/gs

guest@porteus:~$ /usr/bin/gs @st640plg.upp -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=842 -sOutputFile=prt Gg_171014.ps -c quit
