ghostscript headaches

Hi all,

I'm running FBSD 5.4-release-p7.  I've had gs-gnu 7.07 installed from 
when I installed FBSD 5.3.  I just installed scribus and it needs a 
newer gs.  I set WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_AFPL=yes, deinstalled gs-gnu, 
installed gs-afpl, and did a pkgdb -F.  Scribus now worked right but 
cups didn't.  I tried portupgrade -f cups\* but it failed in 
cups-pstoraster (see below).  I thought I'd try gs-gpl, but I can't find 
a WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GPL flag.  A few messages on freebsd.org seems to 
indicate that gs-gpl is the default, but then why am I stuck with 
gs-gnu?  Anyone have any words of advice on how to get an 8.x gs running 
on my machine with cups?

Thanks,
Micah
