Re: Problem building latest git source

I can't understand it myself, but I did "make distclean" and re-configured,
and got precisely the same error about 9.27. Twice  Even though my
configure output matches yours, and identified my Ghostscript as 9.53, and
said that URW fonts were found. I'll try deleting and redownloading and
rebootstrapping my copy, in case there is something stuck in there. Robert
