Since gs 2 is at least less restrictive as the others, gs 2 might become 'gs' and the others gs3 and gs4. Remember, the startingpoint of this discussion was, that Bill said, gs could be any gs version in the example below: RUN_DEPENDS= gs:${PORTSDIR}/print/ghostscript4 The port dependency might mean, you really need ghostscript4, but gs could be _any_ gs version ... 2, 3 or 4. Would it be ok, to keep them all and rename the binaries of the ghostscript Versions 3 and 4 to gs3 and gs4 ?! Ok one problem remains, all ghostscript versions come with some utilities in /usr/local/bin of the same name ... A recommendation would be, to install only one version ...
