--- Comment #27 from Ian Newton <i.newton at c-org.com> ---
Great your analysis was spot on!

Compiling again to get the libgs.so.9.23 file allowed me to manually replace
the libgs.so.9.21 file and sym-links libgs.so and libgs.so.9 in /usr/lib64 on
my system. This worked straight away showing that the ghostscript version was
the problem.

Now I must persuade the packaging team at Gentoo/Sabayon to include this later
version as it is a dependency for many packages. There may be an issue in that
they chose 9.21 as the last fully GPL licensed version. 

Ghostscript as you surely know is heading for a commercial licensing model
which may be holding back inclusion in core repositories. Which would also be
the case for other distributions. 

In the meantime I know what to do if it breaks by being replaced by the 9.21
version files.

Many thanks!
