After using these tools, installing the epsmegre port (and some others) 
and then removing the latter again, the former have stopped working!

bash-2.05b$ ps2pdf elcFront.ps
Unknown device: pdfwrite
bash-2.05b$ ps2epsi elcFront.ps
Unknown device: bit
bash-2.05b$

How come those devices they ask for have dissapeared, or why have they 
suddenly developed a need for them?

Oddly enough, ps2epsi seems to produce the correct output, regardless of 
the error - ps2pdf not so.

I have reinstalled ghostscript-gnu, but it didn't solve the problem.

Are there some port around that messed with them in a way that didn't 
showed up untill I pkg_delete'd those ports?
