Config: a machine with RedHat 7, vncserver running. connecting from a windows 2000 machine with vncviewer. My current window manager is sawfish. Error: Ghostview can't read ps files from vncviewer and says: Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window. Fix: Upgrading ghostscript to 5.50-10 doesn't change anything but forcing the upgrade of gv and gs to gv-3.5.8-180 and gs_x11-5.50-38 fixes it all (xshared-3.3.6-47 and gs-lib, gs-fonts also). On the other hand, on the RedHat machine itself, everything was normal before the upgrade, the problem occurred only through vncviewer so it must be a rather weird bug (maybe upgrading vnc could have fixed it also?).

I'm not sure I understand you here; you say you forced the upgrade of packages, but the packages you mention aren't Red Hat package names. Did you have the font server running on the machine running vncserver?
Hello again. Well, actually, I went on my favorite web site with tons of rpms, downloaded the packages and forced their installation with "rpm -ivh --force". These aren't RedHat packages (sorry), I know that, but they were the most up-to- date when I downloaded them. As for the font server on the machine running vncserver, I simply can't be sure now, as so many things have already changed on my machine... :-) But I guess this can't be the problem because it has disappeared with the new packages I've downloaded. I'll have to check at home with my other machine on which I haven't upgraded the packages. JY.
ghostscript is coredumping. This seems to happen in 7.1 too. Assigning to ghostscript.
I can't reproduce this under Red Hat Linux 7.2.
