Inconvenient ghostscript and transfig dependences


Hi,
There are two different gs programs distributed, one linked to the X11
library
which is put in /usr/X11R6/bin/gs.exe and another no-X11 that goes into
/bin/gs.exe. Here starts the problem: two different programs with the same
name. Actually if you have X11 there is no reason of installing the
gs-no-X11.
Depending on your PATH you get one or the other. In relation to this there
is the inconvenient dependence of transfig on gs-no-X11, which is
automatically
installed even if you have gs-X11. SETUP keeps trying to install gs-no-X11.
A pain on the neck.

Happy holidays
R.M.
