Description Dirk Heinrichs 2003-09-01 04:23:34 UTC

When I tried to render a dvi file with embedded eps graphics using xdvi the images 
where not displayed and in the console window a gs error message appeared: 
 
gs: ESP Ghostscript 7.05.6: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. 
xdvik gs_io: Broken pipe 
xdvik gs_io: Broken pipe 
ghostscript died unexpectedly. 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. xdvi <dvi file with eps images> 
 
Actual Results:  
The document was displayed with no images, just empty frames. 

Expected Results:  
Display the images. 

ghostscript version is ghostscript-7.05.6-r3 
 
To resolve the problem, I had to set GS_LIB manually: 
 
export GS_LIB=/usr/share/ghostscript/7.05/lib:/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts 
 
Normally, this should be the compiled-in default (see: man gs).

Sorry, this was sent by mistake. It's the same as 27532. 
 
Bye...
