I cannot reproduce this problem on Fedora Core 4 with ghostscript-7.07-40. What does 'type gs' say?
gs is /usr/bin/gs dvips is /usr/bin/dvips maybe it's dvips that is crashing?
What does this say?: "rpm -V ghostscript tetex-dvips"
..5..... /usr/lib/libgs.so.7.07 S.5....T /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/builtin35.map S.5....T /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/download35.map S.5....T /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map S.5....T /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_pk.map S.5....T /usr/share/texmf-var/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_t1.map
Your libgs.so.7.07 has changed since install. Any idea why that might be?
no. i reinstalled both ghostscript and tetex-dvips and now they work fine. I am scared - why could they have changed?! I am now running "rpm -V -a"...
