Hi-

This isn't really your bug, but it could be worked around or patched
fairly easily.  dvisvgm (from
texlive-dvisvgm-bin-2010-2.20100720.svn19405.fc14.x86_64) can't find
libgs.so without help.  This is easy to verify with dvisvgm -l.

There are two ways to help it.  One is like this:

$ dvisvgm --libgs=/usr/lib64/libgs.so.8 -l

and the other is to install ghostscript-devel.  Could you either add
ghostscript-devel as a dependency (seems silly) or just add a patch to
fix the default?

(Of course, the tikz figures I'm testing on cause dvisvgm to
malfunction amazingly, but that's a different story.)

Thanks,
Andy
