Ok..dunno why but this post took a day to turn up..
I finally DID get it working, but what a mess it all was.
Pear package needed
Then pslib: That needed XML::parser and make
That needed some other libraries and dev packages to build.
Spent about 4 hours googling for each 'cannot find expat.h' etc. type error.
Nightmare. One dependency after another. Fine if you are a developer and
used to all this stuff, less fine if all you wanted was a PHP library.
Still it all seems happy enough now. Have yet to try it out, but see no
reason it won't work.
All just to send postscript reports to a printable file. Ahh..
