Summary:                    Please rebuild ghostscript to link against CSW X11
Description: 
/opt/csw/lib/libgs.so is linked against:

        libXt.so.4 =>    /usr/lib/libXt.so.4
        libSM.so.6 =>    /usr/lib/libSM.so.6
        libICE.so.6 =>   /usr/lib/libICE.so.6
        libXext.so.0 =>  /usr/lib/libXext.so.0
        libX11.so.4 =>   /usr/lib/libX11.so.4
        ...

and, /usr/lib/libX11.so.4 was linked against
/usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0

This is causing problems when trying to use -lgs from graphviz.

Would you please rebuild ghostscript so as to pick up the OpenCSW X11 libs
from
/opt/csw/X11/lib ?

But that it was that simple.  gs supports gsview which requires gtk which
is linked to X11.so.4 and gtk supports 26 packages directly.  And so on
through the packages connected to those 26.

We can't update parts of the package set in this way.  Why does graphviz
need X11R7?  If it's just because one of its depends does then ask the same
question upstream.  If that gets to an actual need then you'll need forked
support until more comprehensive rebuild is complete.
