I can't open pdf files with ghostscript-based applications since I installed my new Gentoo system. GGV doesn't even appear to support pdf files - doesn't list them in browse mode, and refuses to display them with a "not a valid postscript document" message. GV does display their FIRST page, but no more, and gives an error message about a gs call having failed. The output on the terminal is as follows: Error: /undefinedfilename in --file-- Operand stack: PDFfile (/Handbook\\ for\\ Bloggers\\ and\\ Cyberdissidents\\ \\\(GB\\\).pdf) (r) Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:1122/1686(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 1911 GPL Ghostscript 8.54: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 This is extremely strange. Evince and poppler are a great way of viewing pdf files, but still, I don't like broken functionality.
does it work with ghostscript-esp by any chance? Since gv is rather unmaintained I dont think this issue will get fixed upstream and I dont want to fix it myself either ..
