Greetings Jonas, thanks for your prompt answer.
Yeah, I appreciate that myself - especially when initially posting a bugreport. Unfortunately too often I don't get around to responding until ages later (if at all) :-(
What command did you invoke that lead to above error?/usr/bin/gv and then "o" for open and do the file-dialogue thing. Or: /usr/bin/gv ~/www/muscript/samples/courante.pdf gives the same error :-( But on the other hand: /usr/bin/gs ~/www/muscript/samples/courante.pdf displays the page perfectly :-) So gs works, but gv fails (though when gv reports the error, it reports it as a GPL Ghostscript error...)
Ah. gv works for me too.
Do you perhaps have something odd below /usr/local which confuses ghostscript?Well /usr/local/lib seems like it's ahead of /usr/lib,
That sounds like a possible cause, then.
also, I moved /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/bin aside and re-ran ldconfig, and gs still worked, but gv still failed (though when gv reports the error, it reports it as a Ghostscript error...)
Ghostscript also pulls data files from */usr/share. Try put aside /usr/local completely!And I wonder how all those binaries ended below /usr/lib - could it be that you've compiled a bunch of different stuff by hand and installed it as root? If so, I suspect that some install routines might accidentally have installed stuff below /usr too, and you do not really run a Debian system any longer :-(
Not certain, though. A way forward could perhaps be to use strace to check which files are being touch prior to the crash. But that's beyond me, so can't really help there.
