Let's clarify, correct me if I'm wrong

I guess you have a Linux OS.

By "System version" do you mean standard package for your distribution?

"In lyp" means in a folder with that name?

Here you should tell exactly which stage of the whole printing process 
you reached. "Printing" is sometimes used in the manuals for "rendering" 
but there are intermediate PS files which could be correct even if 
latest Ghostscript command fails.

Please specify the issue with accompanying links and it will be easier 
for everyone to help.

Requisites are dependant packages? Our binary is not a package, it does 
not perform automatic installation of any other packages like your 
package manager does.

How do you know it understands them?

Do you get any messages that suggest so?

Trying to render a file with an alternative font is the last thing I 
would ever try before having made a simple file to work.

Strip the problem, use { b } or any other simple input. Tell me the 
console output from command line run.
