Re: [hylafax-users] gs processes running for hundreds of hours

Lee,

I found some instructions for updating ghostscript on CentOS 5.4 here:

http://chrisschuld.com/2010/01/updating-ghostscript-on-centos-5-4-ghostscript-8-70/

But I'm running into all sorts of issues.  Is there a better resource for instructions on updating ghostscript?

Thanks,
Eriks

The HylaFAX version is undoubtedly HylaFAX+ 5.3.0.

It may be a good idea to upgrade the Ghostscript to 8.64 or something 
and see if the problem reoccurs.

Thanks,

Lee.
