It explains... ahze only has change in ghostscript-gpl to enable with  
library by default. Is there any reason why you don't use ghostscript-gpl  
instead (/usr/ports/UPDATING at 20070405)? If you want to keep  
ghostscript-gnu, try to reinstall it with WITH_SHLIB. I personal don't  
know if libspectre will work with ghostscript-gnu.

Cheers,
