The Ghostscript pakage gs_both/gs_vga

Symptom:

When calling Ghostscript (gs -h) you get the following error message:

gs: error in loading shared libraries
libvgagl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reason:

You have installed the Ghostscript package "gs_both" or "gs_vga", without including the necessary dependancies.

Solution:

You must properly complete the post installation of the package; make sure to see the section on YaST in the manual. In YaST, recheck the package dependancies:

Choose/Install packages ->
Check package dependancies

And then install the package "svgalib" from the series "d".

Additional point

As a rule you do not need the package "gs_both" and you can work better with "gs_x11". You must decide what is best for you.
