Re: finding the right path

[gfp]

Hi Felix,

thanks for help

I find gs installed in:

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ which gs
/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/gs

and in:

guix package --list-installed

ghostscript             9.56.1          out 
/gnu/store/1v8zfc3k0y9r24m0cjbsxhnggkllfmbc-ghostscript-9.56.1
gv                      3.7.4           out 
/gnu/store/yhpm5azbp7l6llyl2w9nnh4iq1m3lj2q-gv-3.7.4


Is this the right way to write it:
(require 'printing)
    (setq pr-path-alist
            '((unix      "." "/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin" ghostview mpage PATH)
              (ghostview "/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/gsview-dir")
              (mpage     "/home/gfp/.guix-profile/bin/mpage-dir")
              ))

this was the old way:

;;'((unix      "." "~/bin" ghostview mpage PATH)
;;  (ghostview "$HOME/bin/gsview-dir")
;;  (mpage     "$HOME/bin/mpage-dir")


I don´t find the file: "gsview-dir" and "mpage-dir"


thanks

Gottfried
