Hi @crapthings, you get linker error because in your system seems that libgs.dylib is not installe din the default path for macOS system. I saw that you installed ghostscript through brew so you have the library that you need at path similar to this: /usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/<FOLDER THAT REPRESENT THE INSTALLED VERSION>/lib. Example: /usr/local/Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/lib Now the only thing that you have to do if the libgs.dylib is in this folder is to go in the folder /usr/local/lib and create a symbolic link to your library using the following command: ln -s ../Cellar/ghostscript/<FOLDER THAT REPRESENT THE INSTALLED VERSION>/lib/libgs.dylib Example: ../Cellar/ghostscript/9.26_1/lib/libgs.dylib Hope that this help you.

Note that on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) Homebrew has changed the install directory to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/
