[SOLVED] x86_64 current, ghostscript, and libidn.so.11

Hi slackers,

I recently installed on my main desktop slackware64-current and I faced with the following problem: when I ran ghostscript it could not find libidn.so.11
Meanwhile, libidn.so.12 was present in /usr/lib64, so I just made a symlink and everything works just fine, also on my laptop no issues running ghostscript on slackware-current (32 bit x86).

Has someone experienced the same issue, or I'm doing something completely wrong?

Can you check and make sure you have ghostscript-9.54.0 installed? The gs program in that package seems to be pointing to the correct libidn.so.12 library.

Ok, thanks! That is exactly the issue.
What I needed to check is

Code:

which gs

so I could realize that I copied my own old local binaries from the home directory backup.

Basically, my $HOME/usr is a big chunk of trash now

Thank you once again!
