Re: [ferret_users] Old AIX problem
Hi Gary,

| "gksm2ps: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected"
It's most likely that the binary executable "gksm2ps" isn't
compatible with your operating system. It's not recognized
as a binary executable and so is passed to /bin/sh or something
as if it were a shell script.
On my Linux machine, for instance,
$ /bin/sh /bin/ls
/bin/ls: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
$ file /bin/ls
/bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, stripped

I'm not sure, but you might what to try
$ file /usr/local/bin/gksm2ps
(Replace the above with the correct path)
to see whether the binary executable is recognized as
such.
