Hello,

currently I am trying to install GhostScript on a MicroVAX 3100 with VMS 5.5-2.
Meanwhile the compilation is all right (I am using DEC-C) but when it comes
to linking I get the following error:

%LINK-W-NUDFSYMS, 2 undefined symbols:
%LINK-I-UDFSYM, 	XTSHELLSTRINGS 
%LINK-I-UDFSYM, 	XTSTRINGS 
%LINK-W-USEUNDEF, undefined symbol XTSTRINGS referenced
	in psect $DATA offset %X00000000
	in module GDEVXINI file DISK2:[DECUS_PROG.GS261]GDEVXINI.OBJ;1
...

The linking command is as follows:

$ LDEF = ""
$ LINK'LDEF/NOMAP/EXE=GS.EXE GS,GSMAIN,GDEVX,GDEVXINI,GCONFIG,GDEVXXF,-
  GS/LIB/INCLUDE=(GDEVMEM1,GDEVMEM2,GDEVMEM3,GXCLIST,GXCLREAD,-
  ZARITH,ZARRAY,ZBSEQ,ZCHAR,ZCOLOR,ZCOLOR2,ZCONTROL,ZDEVICE,ZDPS1,-
  ZDICT,ZFILE,ZFILEDEV,ZFILEIO,ZFILTER,ZFILTER2,ZFONT,ZFONT0,ZFONT1,ZFONT2,-
  ZGENERIC,ZGSTATE,ZHT,ZIMAGE2,ZMATH,ZMATRIX,ZMISC,-
  ZPACKED,ZPAINT,ZPATH,ZPATH2,-
  ZPROPS,ZRELBIT,ZSTACK,ZSTRING,ZTYPE,ZUPATH,ZVMEM),SYS$INPUT/OPT
SYS$SHARE:DECW$XTSHR/SHARE,SYS$SHARE:DECW$XLIBSHR/SHARE
$ !

Perhaps I should add that this machine doesn't have a graphics console, it is
only a boot server. Could this be the reason? Do I really need the X-Driver
for GhostScript? All I want to do is some conversion of PostScript files in the
background. Or is there a problem with my installation of DecWindows/Motif
V1.2-3?
