It applies clean to 4.1b2 and after hacking "configure" to accept
libtiff it compiles, installs, and runs fine (so far :)

Yes:
root@box /root$ file ~lyngbol/tmp/dummy.php 
/home/lyngbol/tmp/dummy.php: ASCII text

Using other text files gave the same error.

making /usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts/Courier-Bold a symlink to
/usr/local/lib/afm/Courier-Bold fixed it.

Right now it's running quite fint!

Thank you
