Ghostscript For Mac Yosemite 10

I'm trying to get GhostScript 9.20 working on macOS 10.11 El Capitan. The problem is that I can't generate any preview. The PS file is very simple and looks as below:%!PS-Adobe-2.0% The indispen. I want to install Ghostscript on my OS X 10.9 using a valid DMG file, where can i find it? Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 177 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to. I needed ImageMagick- especially as a Ruby GEM - so I had to somehow get gem install rmagick working, as it didn't work out of the box: Leopard doesn't ship with ImageMagick. If you've ever tried to install ImageMagick without Fink or MacPorts, you'll have a quite good chance to go completely nuts. Especially the interdependencies of libjpeg and ghostscript are insane. General issues for printing in Yosemite have been dealt with within the install script of foo2zjs. (Sandboxing issues etc. =OK - Need to give hint for repairing file permissions?) Step 2:Install Ghostscript & Foomatic –RIP. Install Ghostscript for Mac OSX. The file I used: gplgs-8.71.dmg Install Foomatic-Rip for Mac. May 06, 2015  Just wanted to provide a little assistance for anyone attempting to print on a Mac. So far I have only tested this on Mac OS X 'Yosemite' and the export to pdf function. The same method should work on previous versions. Step 2: Install ghostscript with the newly installed macports. Matlab figures (eps, pdf) are now outputting perfectly using: exportfig, OSX Yosemite, R2014b, ghostscript 9.15 and xpdf 3.04. The only difference to you karenBibb is OSX. I was previously getting the blank figure. But a warning, R2014a and previous matlab versions will not work under Yosemite, so you will need R2014b. Environment is Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite, Apache 2.4, Terascript 7, ImageMagick 6.9.3-6, Ghostscript 9.19. Surprisingly this set up has been working for years on Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion, Apache 2.2, Terascript 6.21, ImageMagick 6.7.6-0, Ghostscript 9.05. I can confirm that ImageMagick is running fine and can resize images.

Yosemite

MacTeX works fine on Apple's latest operating system, Yosemite. This page listsa few problems users encountered with TeX when updating to Yosemite. A new operatingsystem is expected in the fall of 2015; this page may be helpful for that update.

X Windows and Quartz

Some folks use xdvi to display TeX Output on X Windows. There are reports that linksin X Windows are removed and the X11 display fails. The solution is to reinstall Quartz.To do so, go to http://xquartz.macosforge.org.

Ghostscript

We have reports that Ghostscriptis broken, but actually it isn't. We ship two Ghostscript binaries, one with support for X11and one without this support. The binaries, in /usr/local/bin, are named gs-X11 and gs-noX11.The file gs in this location is a link to the approprite binary.
If Apple removes X11 during an update, the binary gs-X11 will fail to run. There are twoeasy solutions. The first is to install X11 as above. The second is to reset the link gs to point to gs-noX11. Users who don't know the appropriate Unix commands should install X11, becausethat is the easiest fix.

Installing Yosemite

The biggest problem by far with Yosemite occurs during installation, and then only for userswho already have TeX. The installer begins by moving /usr/local to a temporary location. Then it installs the new system. Near the end, the installer moves the contents of /usr/local back totheir original location, but in the process it carefully examines each file. Since TeX containshundreds of thousands of files, this final step can last from an hour to over twelve hours. Users who let installation run all night report success in the end.

Avoiding the Problem

Ross Moore sent an extremely useful method of avoiding the problem. He writes

'A colleague tells me that the way to update to Yosemite, withone or more TeX installations installed, is to first

It comes with real-time protection that scans your downloads and installs every time you access them. It defends your Mac from ransomware, spyware, adware, malware and all other online viruses. Best anti malware for mojave mac pro.

mv /usr/local/texlive ~

do the install, then

mv ~/texlive /usr/local

'This avoids the installer archiving, and then re-installing thehierarchy *file-by-file*. This kind of approach may be useful with other subdirectoriesof /usr/local as well.'

This solution moves the texlive directory to the User's home directory, installs Yosemite,and then moves the texlive directory back to its proper location. In more detail, theappropriate commands are as follows (spaces in these commands are essential, so copyingthe commands may work better than retyping them):

sudo mv /usr/local/texlive ~

install Yosemite

sudo mv ~/texlive /usr/local

The TeX Dist Preference Pane

The TeX Dist Pane we distributed with MacTeX-2014 does not work in Yosemite. A newerreplacement for Yosemite is available at http://download2.polytechnic.edu.na/pub4/sourceforge/m/ma/mactextoolbox/TeXDist/.

It is possible to recover the basic functions of the PreferencePane by using the command line. This was pointed out by BrunoVoisin. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities. To see a list ofcurrent TeX distributions:

Download Ghostscript

texdist --list

To see the current active distribution

texdist --current

To set a new active distribution

sudo texdist --setcurrent=TeXLive-2014

This last command requires the exact name of the distribution,but the listing command will give the name recognized by thedata structure. Notice that the listing includes '.texdist' whichis not used when setting a new distribution.

CocoAspell

CocoAspell runs fine on Yosemite, but the installer runs into troubleinstalling dictionaries on a fresh copy of Yosemite, and the SpellingPref Pane installed by CocoAspell does not initially run. The author has been notified of the trouble.

One possible solution is listed below, but Thaddeus Perala provided an easier fixwhich does not require retrieving files from an earlier system. To read about hissolution, click here.

In the release version of Yosemite, it is possible to resurrect cocoAspellas follows. From an installation of CocoAspell on Mavericks, go to/usr/local/lib and find a folder named aspell-0.60 and several libraries whose names start with libaspell or libpsell. Copy this folder and these libraries to Yosemite, and move them into /usr/local/lib, creating this folder if necessary. Using sudo, change the owner of the files to root.

Again on Mavericks, go to '/Library/Application Support' and find thefolder named cocoAspell. Copy this folder to Yosemite and place it in '/Library/Application Support' there.

After these steps, the cocoAspell Preference Pane will run and the spell checker can be used as usual.
