[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46301] Ghostscript Search Path is misconfigured in MXE build

[Avinoam Kalma]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #46301 (project octave):

Checking the fix:


> gs -h
...
Search path:
   %rom%Resource/Init/ : %rom%lib/ :
   /usr/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/Init :
   /usr/share/ghostscript/9.16/lib :
   /usr/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/Font :
   /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts : /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript :
   /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 : /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType :
   /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base


So it seems to me that this fix replaced a set of irrelevant 
directories by another set of irrelevant directories...

The search path should include
<install_path>Octave-4.0.0shareghostscript9.16lib
but <install_path> is known only in the installation time, not at the building
time of ghostscript. Maybe it is %rom%lib/?

Can someone give an example in which octave output depends on
gs search path, and if the search path is wrong, the output will be wrong?
