  I am just using the debian package for ghostscript. A 'gs -h' shows omni 
listed as an available device.

  I had vague thoughts that might be a problem with my dlopen code, but I'm 
not really a programmer, so I wasn't sure. Ah yes. I changed the dlopen 
program, and compiled with g++, and it opened the libomni library without any 
problems.

  Yep, that worked.

  I will have to get the debian source package for ghostscript, and try out 
that debugging option that you suggested. I'll let you know how that goes, 
when I get around to it :(

  Cheers,
