Gerhard, Your advice was quite useful. I too removed gs-esp, and installed gs- gpl. As an Ubuntu novice, however, I ran into difficulties installing gv. I'm using Feisty Fawn, and when I try to use apt-get to install gv, it reinstalls gs-esp. So, I'm just doing without gv for the time being. I'm also doing without evince, the lightweight PDF viewer.
Specifically, to clean things up and install what I needed, I took these steps: sudo apt-get remove gs-esp sudo apt-get remove gs-gpl sudo apt-get remove gs-afpl sudo apt-get remove gs-common sudo apt-get install gs-gpl sudo apt-get install ps2pdf (may not be necessary - I can't remember) Then I installed acrobat reader (acroread) per these instructions: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-pdf-reader-with-plug-in-for-mozilla-firefox-in-feisty-fawn.html#more-218 My use for gs is related to latex, and now the following steps in my latex script work: latex document.tex bibtex document latex document.tex latex document.tex dvips -o document.ps document.dvi ps2pdf document.ps acroread document.pdf & It works just fine. -Ravi -- Export-to-EPS is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
