I get the above when trying to compile gs 8.50.

An older version of ghostscript, 8.14 compiled perfectly.  It does NOT have a 
ghostscript*/jasper subdirectory so this is something that was added since gs 
8.14.

JasPer has something to do with converting between JPEG_2000 Part1 JP2 and 
JPC formats (image compression standards) so I don't think I need it to 
view documents that were scanned and converted to pdf (last time someone 
kept sending me jpegs to translate I quit working for them) but HOW do I 
remove it from the gs source code?  I tried putting # in front of the line 
in Makefile that started with include and has jasper.mak in it but got the 
same error.  JPXDEcode support.  So then I commented out three other lines 
about where to look for jasper code.

This time it exits telling me /jasper/jasper.h - No suchfile or 
directory (probably because I removed information about where to find it).

I have added epson and uniprint and lq850 and a few other dot matrix 
printers as devices, found in contrib.mak, along with the video devices 
(cirr s3vga tseng tvga and vesa, also vgalib - missing in the SW81 gs).

Perhaps gs 8.30 (which does pdf 1.5) does not include jasper.
