Hi
I am using ghostscript-3.33-3 and am playing with CGI scripts that
generate gif's on the fly. I have a script that produces valid postscript
that ghostview displays perfectly.
However, when I try to generate a gif from this using '-sDEVICE=gif8'
I get absolutely nothing...which is not surprising as it seems like the
precompile gs with Red Hat doesnt support any 'gif' devices. It does
however support pbm output...
I have had a look at the pbm man page, and it rather looks like there
isn't a pbm to gif package!
Any ideas or suggestions are very welcome!
