6.53-4 was not shipped in 7.3; 6.52-8 was. Does that also show the problem? Sorry, must have been from a beta. 6.52-8 does also show the problem. FWIW, 7.05-3 (from rawhide) also does the same thing. I have the same error, and possibly a smaller reproducable test case. The file at http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PUBLIC/idraw.ps was generated by idraw. It worked fine in RH 7.2 and won't ghostview or ps2pdf or even gs in RH 7.3. It has the same error as above with RH7.3. What's strange is that revering the ghostscript version does not help. I tried installing these RPMs on my 7.3 system, but all had the same error: ghostscript-6.51-12.i386.rpm ghostscript-6.51-16.2.i386.rpm ghostscript-6.52-8.i386.rpm ghostscript-6.52-9.4.i386.rpm (i.e., the basic and patched versions in RH 7.2 and 7.3). This is a duplicate of bug #74633. The sample file is incorrect. It assumes that FontBBox is an executable array. Although many fonts are designed this way there is no such requiriment in the spec. Probably, different RH versions install different fonts. The file should be changed to work with both executable and literal arrays. In that case, either xfig (probable) or latex is generating incorrect postscript. Hmm.. or maybe not: I recall I copied some pics from other sources, I don't know how those were generated. |
