#15437: Ghostscript 8.62_1+Universal fails on PPC macs --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: vcpatel@emory.edu | Owner: takanori@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by takanori@macports.org): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Hi, I could reproduce the problem. As you say, gs binary built on Intel based macs does not work properly on PPC, and vice versa. So I disabled this useless +universal variant simply. (r37154) # To tell the truth, I don't have any interest in keeping this feature since I have already changed my machine from PPC to Intel completely. Maybe this is the biggest problem... ;-) Anyway, thank you for reporting! p.s. Basically, I don't recommend you to use +universal variant because it is not stable yet - some ports may work well, but some ports may not work. I think you'd better install both Intel and ppc trees separately on your file server. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15437#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Hello. I have installed Ghostscript 8.62_1+Universal on a NFS share that is mounted by various Intel and PPC Macs. gs works fine on Intel Macs but does not work on PPC macs (gives Bus error). All computers are running OS X 10.5.2 with all updates applied. Here is the output of the same command run on Intel and PPC Macs:
