Ghostscript8 compiled and installed ok.  It was probably the rmconfig 
that fixed it.  I had unset a lot of options that were of no value to 
me.  Maybe one or more of them are not really optional.

Concerning the copy & paste, root is not running X so there is no copy 
and paste.  I tried redirecting error output from make with 
2>$HOME/make_error but make sees the redirection as an instruction it 
does not know how to do.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards,
Fred
