After installing the Apple X11 and SDK, plus system-xfree86 from fink,
I then installed gv from fink.
When I run it on a postscript file, the gv display comes up
immediately, but immediately also an error window pops up with a
message
Unknown device: x11alpha
Any suggestions?
I had this problem too: the thing is that I had two versions of gs
installed (I don't know how ...):
One in /usr/local/bin (and this one is not compiled with x11 support)
and the other one installed with
fink in /sw/bin, that has x11 support.
So it might just be a matter of path: set your path to /sw/bin:$PATH
and then the fink version
of gs will be found first when you launch gv.
(before anything you can check this:
% which gs
-- should be /sw/bin/gs
% gs -h
-- should contain x11alpha ...
-- if this is OK gv should run OK)
Hope this helps !
Best
Franck
