I see that ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.i386.rpm has no libraries in it:
$ rpm -qlvp ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.i386.rpm | grep /usr/lib
$

Is this the result from a hacked up version of the original
ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.src.rpm?  If so, where is it?

If I want to build from source, do you suggest that I edit the spec
file in ghostscript-8.15.1-3.1.src.rpm to build ghostscript 8.x
without the libraries, and add all the libraries back into
ghostscript-compat-libs-7.07-41.2nu.i386.rpm?  What did you do?
