ghostPCL
 

I am a newbie running slackware linux. I am having problems compiling GhostPCL. I don't need X11 support. All I want to do is convert PCL files to PS or PDF. I have a version of Ghostscript installed.
This is what I get:

bash-2.05b# make product
make -C main -f pcl6_gcc.mak # build PCL and PCLXL.
