Are you saying that netpbm only works if you
upgrade the libraries in BL3? Surely it must
be possible to compile it under libc5?

20th-century computers (386, 486, P1) perform
better on the 20th-century library (libc5).
I advise BL3 users with 20th-Century computers
not to upgrade the BL3 libraries.

GhostScript is libc5 (available from Slackware 4.0).
Any size difference between gs and netpbm probably
disappears when you install the bloated glibc2
library (apparently required by netpbm).

Cheers,
Steven
