Can any one tell me why print/ghostscript8 installation fails?

Here's the error message:

I understand that a header file is missing but I have no clue as to where to find it.
Is cups/raster.h causing all these errors? I have my ports up to date.
 
Looks like this problem is not directly from ghostscript8. It occurs in print/cups-pstoraster while installing print/cups. I installed ghostscript8 using pkg_add.

So, I am assuming that the problem is caused by missing cups/raster.h file, after all.
 
Isn't it cups failing rather than ghostscript? The raster.h file is part of cups (/usr/local/include/cups/raster.h).

Code: 
[/usr/ports/print]$ find . -name pkg-plist | while read file; do grep -l raster.h $file; done
./cups-base/pkg-plist
 
OK, I get it but /usr/local/include/cups/raster.h is missing in my system. Does it come with the base system or am I supposed to get it from somewhere esle?
 
I don't have either cups or cups-base installed on my box. I don't know if /usr/local/include/cups is supposed to be there without those packages being installed.
This error occurs while installing cups-base or cups. Installing these packages first compiles ghostscript8 as a dependency and this is where the error occurs, inside print/ghostscript8.

I found out in Gentoo forums that there's a cyclic dependency in , how should I put it, ghostscript or cups. Could it be the same problem here?
 
Might be cyclic, yes. Though not completely.

/usr/ports/print/cups-base needs ghostscript8-8.64_1 to build
/usr/ports/print/ghostscript8 does not need cups-base to build

But if it checks for raster.h, it apparently does need cups-base as a build dependency, though it's not listed as such. And that needs ghostscript8 again, yes.
 
I think this is exactly what is happening here since I tried installing ghostscript8 and cups-base independently both meeting the same end.
So, what would be your suggestion? Should I be waiting for the ghostscript/cups developers to fix this or could there be a work-around?
Sorry for throwing you all this question but I am not much into hacking the source codes, and I think you could give me some directions here.
Thank you @DutchDaemon.
 
It's hard for me to say where the origin of this cyclic dependency lies. You could try contacting both port maintainers first (their addresses are in the respective Makefiles) -- link to this thread and it should be clear enough. They can escalate to the authors if that's where the inconsistency was introduced.
 
Thanks a lot for the help. I think I should give a try. I didn't experience this problem in my previous installations.
 
I had some problems yesterday with cpus-base, cups-client and ghostscript8. Fixed the issues by deinstalling and reinstalling the ports. Can't remember the exact steps though :\.
 
Thanks @tangram for pointing out. Finally, I had a smooth installation of cups-base and/or ghostscript8.

The problem was caused by print/cups-client being installed before print/ghostscript8. cups-client was installed by cups-base as a dependency before installing ghostscript8, which is installed next as another dependency.

I removed cups-client and installed ghostscript8 first. Then, proceeded with cups-base. This way I didn't encounter any errors.
 
You can also add CONFIGURE_ARGS=--disable-cups to the Makefile for ghostscript8 ... This will disable CUPS and solve the problem.
 
Carpetsmoker, Thank you very much!
I have installed ghostscript8 followed your suggestions.

Thanks for reporting.

I have split cups into 3 ports:

print/cups-base: Server (All the heavy stuff)
print/cups-image: libcupsimage (Filters use ist to read or write cups rastefiles)
print/cups-cliint: libcups (Applications use it to print)

ghostscript uses now libcupsimage.

One more thing: can you make print/ghostscript8 respect WITHOUT_CUPS, like every other port?

I hacked it locally:

to whom it might concern (and as a reminder for myself):

Because I also had some trouble with this ghostscript8 port, some remarks how I succeeded:
I pkg_delete'd all *cups* packages:
Code: 
# pkg_version -v | grep cups
cups-client-1.3.10_2                =   up-to-date with port
cups-image-1.3.10_2                 =   up-to-date with port
# pkg_delete cups-image-1.3.10_2 cups-client-1.3.10_2
# pkg_version -v | grep cups
#
removed old configurations:
Code: 
# cd /usr/ports/print/cups-client
# make rmconfig
===> Removing user-configured options for cups-client-1.3.10_2
# cd /usr/ports/print/cups-image/
# make rmconfig
===> No user-specified options configured for cups-image-1.3.10_2
# cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript8
# make rmconfig
===> Removing user-configured options for ghostscript8-8.64_5
and finally installed ghostscript8:
Code: 
# portinstall ghostscript8
Without removing old configs make'ing ghostscript didn't run through.
