If so, then you might want to use fink's ghostscript. Fink has had ghostscript 8 in it's unstable tree since late November. There have
been some problems detected with ghostscript 8 in the past few weeks,
involving loading images of types other than .eps.

While we are on this subject:


I am trying to debug the misunderstanding between gs-8 and texmacs. It turns out this is not a problem with other image formats, it happens even when trying to import eps. It must be a difference in the exit code between gs-8 and gs-7.04.

I may have narrowed it down to some warning message that gs-8 is giving and gs-7.04 is not, and which texmacs might use as an excuse for not continuing.

   **** Warning: Some of the BoundingBox for the EPS file will be clipped.
                 Use -dEPSCrop or -dEPSFitPage to avoid clipping.

This message shows up when I remove the -q flag with which texmacs runs gs. From the texmacs code (this is c++):

    system ("gs -q -sDEVICE=x11 -dNOPAUSE -dSAFER " *
            temp_name * " -c quit");

The weird thing is that when I run exactly the same command (without -q) on exactly the same ps file either by hand from the shell command line or from a little C program I wrote, then the warning does not show up, and gs-8 and gs-7.04 behave absolutely identically.

I'd be grateful for any ideas.
