Article 165509 of comp.os.vms: Hi, I'm having difficulty installing Ghostscript 4.03 on the following system: OpenVMS AXP V6.2 DEC C V5.0-003 DecWindows 1.2-3 Upacked the 4.03 distribution .gz files and ran the VMS-DECC.MAK file. During its execution, 3 routines gave warnings: CC/DECC/PREFIX=ALL/NESTED_INCLUDE=PRIMARY/NOLIST/OBJECT=GSHT1.OBJ GSHT1.C public_st_ht_component_element(); ................................^ %CC-W-EXTRASEMI, Extraneous semicolon. at line number 55 in file SYS$COMMON:[SYSROUTINES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]GSHT1.C;1 %LIBRAR-W-COMCOD, compilation warnings in module GSHT1 file SYS$COMMON:[SYSROUTI NES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]GSHT1.OBJ;1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC/DECC/PREFIX=ALL/NESTED_INCLUDE=PRIMARY/NOLIST/OBJECT=IMAINARG.OBJ IMAINARG.C while ( isspace(c = cfsgetc()) ) ; ................^ %CC-W-LVALUECAST, In this statement, the result of the cast "(int)c" is used as an lvalue. at line number 186 in file SYS$COMMON:[SYSROUTINES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]IMAINARG.C ;1 %LIBRAR-W-COMCOD, compilation warnings in module IMAINARG file SYS$COMMON:[SYSRO UTINES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]IMAINARG.OBJ;1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC/DECC/PREFIX=ALL/NESTED_INCLUDE=PRIMARY/NOLIST/OBJECT=GSTYPE1.OBJ GSTYPE1.C gs_setflat(pis, pcis->flatness); ..........^ %CC-W-PTRMISMATCH, In this statement, the referenced type of the pointer value " pis" is "struct gs_imager_state_s", which is not compatible with "struct gs_stat e_s". at line number 959 in file SYS$COMMON:[SYSROUTINES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]GSTYPE1.C; 1 %LIBRAR-W-COMCOD, compilation warnings in module GSTYPE1 file SYS$COMMON:[SYSROU TINES.GHOSTSCRIPT.GS4_03]GSTYPE1.OBJ;1 I don't have the expertise to correct the above warnings. However, since they were warnings rather than fatal errors, I let the make file complete. The make file completed and created the gs.exe executable. However, running gs yields the cryptic message %SYSTEM-E-BADPARAM, bad parameter value. I don't know if the above warning messages are relevant or not. Or am I doing something even more basic wrong? BTW, I built Johannes Plass' Ghostview for VMS. It brings up a window, but since GS is hosed, doesn't do much else. So, basically I'm dead in the water. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -Kevin ----- Kevin E.
