Presumably you just need to tell the configure script where your ghostscript is installed?

Try ghostscript +framework.

Since foomatic-filters does not support ghostscript framework by default, I think you have to modify it a bit though..

# Just for curiosity. Why do you want to use foomatic-filters on Mac OS X?

See:

​http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL.osx

Basically, I want to upgrade to foomatic-filters-4.0.2 (which does not work on OSX) from foomatic-filters-3.0.2 (which works AOK on OSX) for my users.

I think foomatic-filters can be built by the following command now, because I modified ghostscript @8.70_0 to install libgs.dylib by default.

$ tar xvfz foomatic-filters-4.0.2.tar.gz
$ cd foomatic-filters-4.0.2
$ CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" ./configure
$ make

Confirmed!

Now, if I only had a:

$ sudo port install foomatic-filters Password: Error: Port foomatic-filters not found

But this will do.
