SETUP and ghostscript and other problems. . .


Hi List,

I have browsed through the entire help archive, and have yet to run 
across my problem, so I will pose it to the list.

Current system:

FreeBSD 4.4-Release
apsfilter-6.1.1 [installed from ports]
ghostscript-6.50_6
ghostscript-gnu-6.51

HP Laserjet 5L
running on an old P-133 I would like to use as a print server.

Problem #1: The port of apsfilter seems to build ok [I'm building 
without any X support, as I won't be running X on this machine], but 
when I run SETUP, it tells me that I must upgrade to at leas gs 
5.50!

Problem #2: Knowing that I'm way ahead of that, I continue with 
SETUP, and it lists a bunch of drivers I might use [from what I've 
read, ljet4 is probably a good choice for this printer].  When I type 
in 111 [the number of the ljet4 driver], the program tells me that 
that particular driver hasn't been compiled into the version of gs that 
is on my system.  Really?

Problem #3: I manually tweaked SETUP.cfg to contain the driver, 
paper, resolution, etc., then ran SETUP to try to print the test 
page.  The error I get is
--------------------------------------------------
Creating test page...
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libXt.so.6" not found
time: command terminated abnormally
        0.02 real         0.00 user         0.01 sys

Printing test page...
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  0 Jan  7 22:48 /tmp/aps_testout.tx8J6e
        0.01 real         0.00 user         0.00 sys
[ press RETURN to continue ]
-----------------------------------------------------------

Well, I looked around, and "libXt.so.6" *is* loaded on my machine, 
as is "libXt.so.6.0".  

Now, I know apsfilter will work with this printer, and that it will work 
on a slow machine.  I used to have a 75 MHz pentium running 
FreeBSD 4.0, and apsfilter worked like a charm on it.  Any help?
