One can also work around this by editing /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps and removing /flushpage from the list on line 2127. Hello, thank you very much for reporting this problem! I can reproduce by following the steps from the link mentioned in the Fedora bug 1518131: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56284 ~~~ copy /usr/share/ghostscript/9.22/examples/tiger.eps and the attached gs-test.tex to working directory latex gs-test xdvi gs-test ~~~~ results: ~~~ $ xdvi gs-test xdvi-xaw: Warning: could not find dvips map file psfonts.map; skipping Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion gs: Error: /undefined in flushpage gs: Operand stack: gs: gs: Execution stack: gs: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- gs: 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- fals gs: e 1 %stopped_push 1884 1 3 %oparray_pop 1883 1 3 %oparray_pop gs: 1867 1 3 %oparray_pop 1755 1 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- gs: %errorexec_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- gs: 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- %loop_continue --nost gs: ringval-- gs: Dictionary stack: gs: --dict:956/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:81/200(L)-- gs: Current allocation mode is local gs: Last OS error: No such file or directory gs: GPL Ghostscript 9.07: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 $ ~~~ Kind regards, -Martin TEMPORARY WORKAROUND (in addition to comment 2): - remove the "flushpage" string from the line 2127 in /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps or - apply the attached patch: ~~~ # cat temp-workaround.patch diff -up /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps.BZ1654045 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps --- /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps.BZ1654045 2018-11-28 05:06:01.811507935 +0100 +++ /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps 2018-11-28 05:06:19.079809703 +0100 @@ -2124,7 +2124,7 @@ SAFER { .setsafe } if /.type1execchar /.type2execchar /.type42execchar /.setweightvector /.getuseciecolor /processcolors /.includecolorspace /.execn /.instopped /.stop /.stopped /.setcolorrendering /.setdevicecolorrendering /.buildcolorrendering1 /.builddevicecolorrendering1 /.TransformPQR_scale_WB0 /.TransformPQR_scale_WB1 /.TransformPQR_scale_WB2 /.currentoverprintmode /.copydevice2 -/.devicename /.doneshowpage /flushpage /.getbitsrect /.getdevice /.getdefaultdevice /.getdeviceparams /.gethardwareparams +/.devicename /.doneshowpage /.getbitsrect /.getdevice /.getdefaultdevice /.getdeviceparams /.gethardwareparams /makewordimagedevice /.outputpage /.putdeviceparams /.setdevice /.currentshowpagecount /.setpagedevice /.currentpagedevice /.knownundef /.setmaxlength /.rectappend /.initialize_dsc_parser /.parse_dsc_comments /.fillCIDMap /.fillIdentityCIDMap /.buildcmap /.filenamelistseparator /.libfile /.getfilename # # patch -d /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/ < temp-workaround.patch patching file gs_init.ps # ~~~ Note: You can revert the patch any time by running the same patch command again: ~~~ # patch -d /usr/share/ghostscript/9.07/Resource/Init/ < temp-workaround.patch patching file gs_init.ps Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!
