Hi
I am having problems building ghostscript8-8.63 from ports with the below 
error<snip>
: multiple definition of `gs_shared_init'
./obj/../soobj/gdevl256.o(.text+0x780): first defined here
gmake[1]: *** [bin/../sobin/libgs.so.8.63] Error 1
</snip>
After some googling about it seems this is an old issue with  a conflict 
between lvga256 and vgalib. The fix seems to be to build it without SVGAlib,  
but so far I have failed to get it to do. Ill assume I am doing something 
wrong here as I am not a coder. Any help with how to actually get 
ghostscript8 to build without SVGAlib would be much appreciated
