Polytropon,
Thank you for sharing this advice. I have recompiled ImageMagick with
the djvu capability and had to include [x] for threads and it works
well. I have to use the [space bar] to change pages, but I don't know
which key to use to return one page back. Otherwise it works and no
need to use evince :)
Best Regards,
Antonio

As far as I know, the ability to deal with this file formate
requires the corresponding library to be used. Evince seems
to be able to, but xpdf and gv are "just PS/PDF viewers", so
this functionality hasn't been incorporated.
Even though ImageMagic is a "heavy chunk of compiling", it
is acceptably easy to use when installed ("display" command).
Enabling DJVU option and recompiling it shouldn't pull too
many dependencies into the system.

I have imagemagick installed, but I did not compile in djvu support :( I had a gut feeling that viewers like gv or xpdf would have the capability to view djvu files, since evince could do this, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks to both of you for your responses.
