Upon upgrading to ghostcript-5.50, printtool fails when attempting to select a print filter I get a non-passable error. Stack Trace: can't read "printerdb_descr2entry()": no such element in array while executing "set pentry $printerdb_descr2entry([$printer get $index])" (procedure "LOCAL_select_printer_type" line 22) invoked from within "LOCAL_select_printer_type $curent .sf.f1.list .sf.f2.text .sf.f3.list .sf.f6.list .sf.f4.list $CBasc2ps" (procedure "LOCAL_select_filter" line 441) invoked from within "LOCAL_select_filter .e.v10" invoked from within ".e.autofilter invoke" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]" (procedure "tkButtonUp" line 8) invoked from within "tkButtonUp .e.autofilter" (command bound to event)
You almost certainly messed up your ghostscript 5.50 compilation (i.e. installed its files to the wrong places). Try the semi-official ghostscript 5.50 RPM for Red Hat Linux at <a href="http://people.redhat.com/bero/experimental">http://people.redhat.com/bero/experimental/</a>.
