ghostscript @9.21: install_name of libgs.9.21.dylib is wrong

[papachoco (Carlos Sanchez)]

I tried to ghostscript from 9.19_0 to 9.21_0 ; however after installation the port remained broken

[papachoco (Carlos Sanchez)]

I am running MacOS Sierra 10.12.4; Xcode 8.3.2

Thanks a lot

Yep, I'm seeing this too. For what it's worth, I had to manually fix this by using,

$ sudo install_name_tool -id /opt/local/lib/libgs.9.21.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgs.9.21.dylib
$ sudo install_name_tool -change libgs.9.21.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgs.9.21.dylib /opt/local/bin/gsc
$ sudo install_name_tool -change libgs.9.21.dylib /opt/local/lib/libgs.9.21.dylib /opt/local/bin/gsx

I have the same problem. At the end of the installation of a port that depends on ghostscript and ImageMagick I got the following alert.

You can always run 'port rev-upgrade' again to fix errors.
The following ports will be rebuilt:
 ghostscript @9.21+x11
 ImageMagick @6.9.8-3+x11
Continue? [Y/n]: n

Then if I try to rebuilt, the build fails after three attemps.

Same here.

I tried: "port clean", and "port uninstall" without success.

It is very annoying, since I can not compile LaTeX files anymore (loads of errors in image conversions to produce the final PDF).

PS: see file rev-upgrade_output.txt below for details

Many thanks to seanfarley !

The "install_name_tool" trick worked, although I do not understand why.

This worked for me! Thanks!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Confirmed, the install_name of libgs.9.21.dylib is wrong (is missing the full path to the library). This is a regression from version 9.19.

Caused by use of LDFLAGS_SO in a patch where GS_LDFLAGS_SO should be used, working on a fixed patch.

Revbump library users of ghostscript

After the ghostscript update in 947d9823ca, the install name of the
ghostscript library changed. All dependents need to be rebuilt against
the new libgs.dylib, so revbump them.

This list has been generated using 'port echo depends:ghostscript'.
I have manually excluded ports that only had a runtime dependency (as
opposed to a library dependency), assuming they would only need the
binary. I have also excluded ports with library dependencies that only
seem to use the 'gs' binary (e.g. because they declare
depends_skip_archcheck for ghostscript).

See: #53805
See: #54019

All is fine with the new portfile. Thanks.

I tried to install again this morning and am getting similar errors as before. The port seems to be there and active.

ghostscript @9.21_0+x11 (active)

However when I try to launch it, it fails

gs --version
dyld: Library not loaded: libgs.9.21.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/gs
  Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

I am attaching my session log. It shows the same messages about 2 files broken.

That's still the old (unfixed) version. The fixed one is 9.21_1.

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I simply used

 sudo port install ghostscript

And that is what it said it would install --- ghostscript @9.21_0+x11 (active)

The Macports web site only shows ghostscript 9.19, even though it installs 9.21

How do I tell it to install the updated one? Do I just do

sudo port install ghostscript @9.21_1+x11

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I tried

sudo port install ghostscript @9.21_1+x11

But it is still installing 9.21_0+x11

[kencu (Ken)]

Fred, what do you see with this

$ port info ghostscript

you should see this on the first line

ghostscript @9.21_1 (print)

if you don't see that, your ports must be outdated. do sudo port sync.

Ken

[nortcele]

To install:

sudo port clean ghostscript
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install ghostscript

[fmw42 (Fred Weinhaus)]

I see

ghostscript @9.21

But I realized that I had forgotten to do

sudo port self update

After doing that, it says

ghostscript @9.21_1

Then I did the install and it worked fine.

Thanks you all for the fast response to this bug and for the great help in suggestions just now to get over my ignorance in dealing with the fix. You guys are great!
