Re: problem with MacOs installation latest version

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

Thanks Giulia,

In the P.S. we see the error message in 'tests/test-suite.log'.

As expected, the problem is indeed in Ghostscript, which is missing one 
its own initialization files (something like a configuration file in 
data analysis).

This has probably happened during the update of your dependencies as you 
described earlier. Can you uninstalling Ghostscript and then 
re-installing it again? Afterwards, re-run 'make check' to see if the 
error remains or not.

Hopefully an un-install and a clean install will replace all the missing 
files and will fix this problem. If that doesn't work, try searching 
this error message in your particular environment to see what other 
people have reported on the internet.

Ultimately, Ghostscript is not used as a library in Gnuastro, 
ConvertType just calls the Ghostscript executable ('gs'), with the 
command that is shown at the end of the error message. So you can safely 
run 'sudo make install' in Gnuastro. Afterwards, when you uninstall and 
reinstall Ghostscript (or do any other changes to it based on other 
checks), you can just run

astconvertt img.fits -oimg.pdf

And see if it works or not. It would be good to report the solution in 
the bug-gnuastro@gnu.org mailing list so others also find your solution 
in the future ;-).

Let us know how it goes,
Cheers,
Mohammad
