     109DEPENDENCIES : 
     110 
     111  Depending on the file formats you plan to work with, and on the accounting 
     112  mode you want to use (pages vs ink), you may need to install some or all 
     113  of the additional software listed below. Usually, if one is needed then 
     114  pkpgcounter will complain. So your best bet is probably to not install 
     115  anything until pkpgcounter asks you to do so on its standard error 
     116  stream. Here's the list of software which may be needed for some 
     117  operations with pkpgcounter : 
     118 
     119  - GhostScript (gs) 
    109120   
    110 IMPORTANT : To compute ink coverage, pkpgcounter relies on third party 
    111 software which must be installed. These third party software are : 
     121  - The Python Imaging Library (python-imaging) 
     122   
     123  - The X Virtual Frame Buffer (xvfb) 
     124   
     125  - The X authority file utility xauth (xbase-clients) 
     126   
     127  - The dvips converter from TeX DVI to PostScript (tetex-bin) 
     128   
     129  - The ImageMagick image manipulation toolkit (imagemagick) 
     130   
     131  - The AbiWord word processor (abiword) 
    112132 
    113         - GhostScript (this one is needed for all file formats). 
    114          
    115         - The Python Imaging Library, aka PIL (this one is needed for all 
    116           file formats). 
    117          
    118         - GhostPCL (this one is needed for the PCL3/4/5 and PCLXL formats) 
    119            
    120         - The LaTeX typesetting software, in particular the dvips command 
    121           (this one is needed for the DVI file format). 
    122            
    123         - ImageMagick (this one is needed for image file formats)   
     133  - The GhostPCL/GhostPDL's pcl6 converter from PCL to PostScript
