Bugfix

If ghostscript 9.23 is installed using `make install DESTDIR=/somewhere`, then the $PREFIX/share/ghostscript/9.23/doc symlink points to /somewhere$PREFIX/share/doc/ghostscript/9.23 instead of to $PREFIX/share/doc/ghostscript/9.23 as expected.

Patch attached to fix it.

Here is the MacPorts project's bug report about this problem: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56157

P.S: Please add "9.23" to the Version menu in this bug tracker.

TBH, I think I want to remove that symlink, now.

Any objection to that solution?
Comment 2 Ryan Schmidt 2018-03-27 05:42:22 UTC 
That's up to you.
Comment 3 Chris Liddell (chrisl) 2018-03-29 05:45:15 UTC 
"Fixed" by removing the symlink - it was only planned for one release, anyway:
